This series aims to place early modern English drama within the context of the
European Renaissance and, more specifically, within the context of Italian
cultural, dramatic, and literary traditions, with reference to the impact and influence
of both classical and contemporary culture. Among the various forms of influence,
the series considers early modern Italian novellas, theatre, and discourses as direct
or indirect sources, analogues and paralogues for the construction of Shakespeare’s
drama, particularly in the comedies, romances, and other Italianate plays. Critical
analysis focusing on other cultural transactions, such as travel and courtesy books,
the arts, fencing, dancing, and fashion, will also be encompassed within the scope
of the series. Special attention is paid to the manner in which early modern English
dramatists adapted Italian materials to suit their theatrical agendas, creating new
forms, and stretching the Renaissance practice of
contaminatio
to achieve, even
if unconsciously, a process of rewriting, remaking, and refashioning of ‘alien’
cultures. The series welcomes both single-author studies and collections of essays
and invites proposals that take into account the transition of cultures between the two
countries as a bilateral process, paying attention also to the penetration of early modern
English culture into the Italian world.
