Through the Periscope
This volume is required reading for anyone involved in teaching or researching Italian diaspora culture today. From the very first page of the Introduction, we are reminded of Martino Marazzi's unique ability to read the diaspora from transnational, transhistorical, and transtemporal vantage points that in each chapter open the field to areas of inquiry and comparison that are rarely spoken and, indeed, not widely known. Rich with examples that m…

Just an “English Whore?”

Where 'Reason and the Sense of Venus are Innate in Men'
This article studies male friendship in eighteenth-century Florence and the forms of homosociability that supported it, in particular the first Masonic Lodge in Florence, antiquarian societies, and artistic as well as literary academies. Inspired by the parallel studies of George Haggerty on British male friendship and Robert Tobin on male relations in the German eighteenth century, this contribution considers overlapping, Grand Tour homoerotic c…

Heresy in the Encyclopédie d’Yverdon [1770–1780]
W hat could a reader of eighteenth-century encyclopedias learn about heresy from a perusal of their folio and in-quarto tomes spanning the period 1751–1780? This question brings us squarely into the center of the debate that raged throughout Europe in Protestant and Catholic quarters alike over the representation of religion in Diderot and D’Alembert’s 25-folio volume Encyclopédie (1751–1765). While every stripe of anti-philosophe had denounced t…

Sur les traces de Charles Bonnet
En 1769, le naturaliste genevois, Charles Bonnet répondit à l’éditeur de l’Encyclopédie d’Yverdon, de Felice, lorsqu’il lui proposa de collaborer à la refonte de l’Encyclopédie de Diderot et D’Alembert : « J’ai fait un examen raisonné d’environ 200 articles de cette immense compilation. [...] J’en ai donc assez pour porter un jugement solide de ce dictionnaire. Le refondre, ou plutôt le refaire, seroit le travail d’une société qui s’en occuperoit…

The Letters of Fortunato Bartolomeo De Felice to Pietro Verri
Felice appeared in Strumenti critici,* evidence of the epistolary relationship between Pietro Verri and De Felice, one of the most important publishers of eighteenth-century Europe. The eighteen letters published here for the first time further substantiate the relationship and explore a significant link in the dense network of Italo-Swiss relations in the eighteenth century. These letters not only shed further light on the association between Pi…
