this series aims to place early modern english drama within the context of the
European Renaissance and, more speciically, within the context of Italian cultural,
dramatic, and literary traditions, with reference to the impact and inluence of both
classical and contemporary culture. Among the various forms of inluence, 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.
