Humanism, Venice, and Women
Originally published between 1975 and 2003, the essays included in Humanism, Venice, and Women reflect Margaret L. King's distinct but interlocking scholarly interests: humanism and Venice; women and humanism; and women of the Italian Renaissance. The first part focuses on defining the key characteristics of Venetian as opposed to other Italian humanisms, with an analysis of Gramscian theory about the historical role of intellectuals as an aid to…
The Social Role of Intellectuals
The intellectual and artistic glories of the Italian Renaissance attract tourists to museums, lure scholars to libraries, inspire novels. Yet Renaissance culture remains strangely opaque. Most agree that the situation is more complicated: that ideas are generated within social frameworks, and that intellectual activity is active and helps to move history. Antonio Gramsci — philosopher, journalist, linguist, cofounder of the Italian Communist Part…

A Short History of the Renaissance in Europe
A Short History of the Renaissance is a new edition of The Renaissance in Europe previously published by Laurence King Press and McGraw Hill. Readers will learn not only about the Renaissance that unfolded in Europe between 1300 and 1700, but also about the problem of cultural renewal: why it happens; why its energies are momentous, and how it changes everything all around it. This illustrated overview is a social history of the Renaissance in Eu…

Daughter of Venice
This book offers proof that history is not stranger, but more inventive than fiction.What mere poet could have created Caterina Corner?Like Venice itself, she bridged East and West, land and sea, Greek and Latin, the swashbuckling imperialism of the medieval stato da mar and the cultivated leisure of the High Renaissance.In 1472, she journeyed to the island of Cyprus, but 200 miles west of Damascus, though 1,300 east of Venice.Four years earlier,…

George W. McClure. Parlour Games and the Public Life of Women in Renaissance Italy
Recent decades of feminist scholarship have revealed to us Renaissance women acting with agency in multiple ways: as scholars, poets, dramatists, and storytellers; as patrons of the arts and holders of sovereign power; as saints, martyrs, and mystics; as directors of the family business and their children's marriages, often through epistolary networks; as courtesans, singers, painters, and actresses. To these, George W. McClure adds another: as p…

Concepts of Childhood
The publication of some forty years ago of the landmark work by Philippe Aries, entitled Centuries of childhood, in its widely-read English translation, unleashed decades of scholarly investigation of that once-neglected target, the child. Since then, historians have uncovered the traces of attitudes toward children- were they neglected, exploited, abused, cherished?- and patterns of child-rearing. They have explored such issues, among others, as…

Personal, Domestic, and Republican Values in the Moral Philosophy of Giovanni Caldiera
Giovanni Caldiera (ca. 1400 - ca. 1474) was well known in his day as a secondary figure of the Venetian humanist circle. An examination of his three moral philosophical works—the De virtutibus moralibus et theologicis, the De iconomia veneta, and the De praestantia venetae politiae—will provide, it is hoped, an understanding of the fundamental nature of his intellectual activity. Committed as much to the scholastic and Aristotelian as to the huma…

The Death of the Child Valerio Marcello
In this book, Margaret King shows what the death of an eight-year-old boy named Valerio Marcello, in 1460, can tell us about his time. This child, scion of a family of power and privilege at Venice's time of greatness, left his father in a state of despair so profound and so public that it occasioned an outpouring of consoling letters, orations, treatises and poems. In these documents, we find a firsthand account of the life of the 15th-century b…
