Book excerpt: In this detailed treatment of the myth of Adonis in post-Classical times, Carlo Caruso provides an overview of the main texts, both literary and scholarly, in Latin and in the vernacular, which secured for the Adonis myth a unique place in the Early Modern revival of Classical mythology. While aiming to provide this general outline of the myth's fortunes in the Early Modern age, the book also addresses three points of primary interest, on which most of the original research included in the work has been conducted. First, the myth's earliest significant revival in the age of Italian Humanism, and particularly in the poetry of the great Latin poet and humanist Giovanni Pontano. Secondly, the diffusion of syncretistic interpretations of the Adonis myth by means of authoritative sixteenth-century mythological encyclopaedias. Thirdly, the allegorical/political use of the Adonis myth in G.B. Marino's (1569-1625) Adone, published in Paris in 1623 to celebrate the Bourbon dynasty and to support their legitimacy with regard to the throne of France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this full-length critical study of a richly varied poetic convention, Ellen Lambert aims to define the particular literary experience common to those funeral laments we call pastoral elegies. She suggests that what distinguishes the pastoral elegist's vision of death from that of other funeral elegists is a setting rather than a doctrine: the special landscape in which he places his sorrow. The pastoral elegist brings to death the consolations of a sunlit world: intensification, clarification, simplification. Theocritus's first Idyll and the fifth Vergilian Eclogue are studied in detail in the opening chapters, which provide the groundwork for discussions later in the book of diverse Renaissance elegies by Petrarch, Boccaccio, Castiglione, Sannazaro, Tasso Sceve, Sidney, Spenser, and others. With Milton's "Lycidas," where the mourner must make his own way, in the course of his poetic journey recreating the traditional landscape which others found before him, the convention reaches its climax. In her Epilogue the author underlines the essential unity of the convention up through "Lycidas" by showing the significance of revisions by later elegists who surround death with shadows, mysteries, complications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the early modern period, the nymph remained a powerful figure that inspired and informed the cultural imagination in many different ways. Far from being merely a symbol of the classical legacy, the nymph was invested with a surprisingly broad range of meanings. Working on the basis of these assumptions, and thus challenging Aby Warburg’s famous reflections on the nympha that both portrayed her as cultural archetype and reduced her to a marginal figure, the contributions in this volume seek to uncover the multifarious roles played by nymphs in literature, drama, music, the visual arts, garden architecture, and indeed intellectual culture tout court, and thereby explore the true significance of this well-known figure for the early modern age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Virgil's works, principally the Bucolics, the Georgics, and above all the Aeneid, were frequently read, translated and rewritten by authors of the French Renaissance. The contributors to this volume show how readers and writers entered into a dialogue with the texts, using them to grapple with such difficult questions as authorial, political and communitarian identities. It is demonstrated how Virgil's works are more than Ancient models to be imitated. They reveal themselves, instead, to be part of a vibrant moment of exchange central to the definition of literature at the time."--Back cover.
