Since 1970, a new series, sponsored by the Modern Language Association of America and edited by an international board of distinguished scholars and critics, has published interdisciplinary articles. In yearly hardbound volumes, the new series publishes significant scholarship, criticism, and reviews treating all facets of medieval and Renaissance culture: history, art, literature, music, science, law, economics, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume thirty-one in the new series contains six original and refereed articles that represent a reengagement with history. They focus on a variety of topics, ranging from reception theory in Andreas Capellanus and the ideal sovereign in Christine de Pizan to peasant rebel leaders in late-medieval and early-modern Europe. Don Monson's article makes good usage of Jauss's reception theory and analyzes the third Dialogue of Book I, Chapter 6 of De Amore in a thorough and intelligent way. Important aspects of the relationship between \"scientific\" Latin treaties and Provençal courtly poetry are neatly demonstrated.\u003cbr\u003eKaren Gross examines structural and thematic resemblances between the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDe Casibus\u003c\/i\u003e, arguing that Anchises' \"pageant of future Roman worthies\" (Aen. VI) is connected to the frame structure of De casibus. The author is interested in \"global similarities, not local verbal echoes,\" and believes that the \"structure resonances\" have implications for \"how Boccaccio understood the interaction between history and poetry, between the living and the dead.\" Especially thought-provoking and original are the discussion of the motif of father\/son piety and commemoration and the contrast of Virgil's \u003ci\u003efortuna\u003c\/i\u003e in Roman history and Boccaccio's in world history.\u003cbr\u003eDaisy Delogu's article on Christine de Pizan is a timely one, and also represents reengagement with history th\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233545900376,"sku":"9780742549494","price":142.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780742549494.jpg?v=1769789725","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/medievalia-et-humanistica-no-31","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
