Die ‚alternativen‘ Fassungen des trojanischen Mythos von Dictys und Dares gehören zu den interessantesten und zugleich rätselhaftesten Werken der Spätantike. Dennoch erhalten sie erst seit Kurzem die ihnen gebührende Aufmerksamkeit, und viele Fragen sind noch immer ungelöst. Dies ist eines der ersten Bücher, das sich auf die Beiträge verschiedener Gelehrter stützt, um die Themengebiete in all ihren verschiedenen Facetten umfassend zu behandeln, angefangen mit der heiklen Frage nach den (wahren oder angeblichen) griechischen Modellen, hin zum kulturellen Kontext, der erwarteten Zielgruppe, Intertextualität, strukturellen Mustern, der Erzähltechnik, Themen, Charakteren, Zielen, bis zu Stil und Sprache. Daraus ergibt sich eine vollständigere und teilweise neue Sichtweise auf die zwei Werke. The ‘alternative’ rewritings of the Trojan myth by Dictys and Dares are among the most interesting and mysterious works of Late Antiquity: yet it is only recently that they have started getting due attention, and many issues about them still remain unsolved. This is one of the first books that relies on contributions by several scholars to comprehensively cover this subject in...
The object of this publication is the Renaissance revival as a Pan-European phenomenon of critique, commentary and re-shaping of a nineteenth-century present perceived as deeply problematic. Sweeping the humanistic disciplines - history, literature, music, art, architecture, collecting etc. - it marked the oeuvre of as diverse a group of figures as Ingres and E M Forster, Geymüller and Hildebrand, Michelet and Burckhardt, HH Richardson and Rilke, Carducci and De Sanctis. Though some perceived it as a "Golden Age", a model for the present, some cast it as a negative example, thus showing that the triumphalist model had its detractors and that the reaction to the Renaissance was more complex than it may at first appear. This book then proposes to recover some of the multi-dimensionality of the reaction to, transformation of and commentary on the Italian Renaissance and its ties to nineteenthcentury modernity, as seen both from within (by Italians) and from without (by foreigners, expatriates, travelers etc.).

The Italian serenata is a genre closely tied to locality and occasion. One of the most attractive serenatas of Alessandro Scarlatti, Venere, Adone, et Amore, was composed for a festive evening in the bay of Posillipo close to Naples on 15 July 1696, with libretto by the Neapolitan-based Abbate Francesco Maria Paglia. Ten years later, during a year of intense activity by Scarlatti in Rome, an updated version of the same work was made, in which references to Naples are replaced by Roman references. But the changes to the score go far beyond this: a number of arias and vocal ensembles are recomposed or replaced altogether with new settings, and the work is rescored for the concerto grosso resources to which Scarlatti now had regular access at the court of Cardinal Ottoboni. Venere, Adone, et Amore presents a much lighter side of Scarlatti's dramatic talent than is generally seen in his operas and cantatas, and the work is full of lively numbers, with buffa-style recitative and ensembles. The presentation of both versions of the work in this edition gives a unique insight into the late-seventeenth-century style of Scarlatti and its adaptation for Rome a decade later....
La papauté connaît, entre XIIIe et XVIIe siècle, des évolutions remarquables qui coïncident avec l’affirmation de l’État en Europe occidentale. L’écrit, qui permet à toute autorité politique d’immuniser, de statuer, d’informer, de conserver, est un des principaux instruments de sa construction. Ce volume, second écho d’une recherche collective internationale, tente de croiser les questionnements diffus portant sur ces deux objets historiographiques. Sans prétendre offrir une analyse globale de la culture écrite des organes du pouvoir, dans et hors de la curie, ni proposer une véritable histoire documentaire de l’institution pontificale, les études présentées ici permettent de cerner les structures d’évolution de la documentation dans divers secteurs d’intervention de la papauté. Elles appréhendent les interrogations que les mécanismes de rédaction, de transmission et de conservation des informations suscitent. Elles soulèvent avec acuité des questions économiques fondamentales que les registres occultent, voire tentent de celer. De Rome en Avignon, par Pérouse, Bologne et la Savoie, des cours provinciales aux familles cardinalices, de...
Thomas Gray's An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard enjoyed extraordinary popular success in Europe, where it was widely translated, imitated, adapted, and in various ways assimilated into the continental literatures. The history of the Elegy's circulation on the continent demonstrates the importance of the poem to the romantic generation of European poets, while appreciation of this history serves to illuminate modern critical approaches to the poem's often uncertain or ambiguous meaning.
