Italian Research Seminar: Launch of The Reception of Aristotle's Poetics in the Italian Renaissance

- Export as iCalendar
Location: Teams
You are warmly invited to the online launch of The Reception of Aristotle's Poetics in the Italian Renaissance and Beyond: New Directions in Criticism (London: Bloomsbury, 2020). The editor, Dr Bryan Brazeau (Warwick), will present the volume in conversation with Professor Simon Gilson (Oxford) on Wednesday 27 January at 5pm. The event will take place via Teams.
 
Using new and cutting-edge perspectives, this book explores literary criticism and the reception of Aristotle's Poetics in early modern Italy. Written by leading international scholars, the chapters examine the current state of the field and set out new directions for future study. The reception of classical texts of literary criticism, such as Horace's Ars Poetica, Longinus's On the Sublime, and most importantly, Aristotle's Poetics was a crucial part of the intellectual culture of Renaissance Italy. Revisiting the translations, commentaries, lectures, and polemic treatises produced, the contributors apply new interdisciplinary methods from book history, translation studies, history of the emotions and classical reception to them. Placing several early modern Italian poetic texts in dialogue with twentieth-century literary theory for the first time, The Reception of Aristotle's Poetics in the Italian Renaissance and Beyond models contemporary practice and maps out avenues for future study.
