Silvia Ross is Senior Lecturer in Italian at University College Cork and was Associate Dean and Head of the Graduate School of the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences. Her research concentrates on the representation of central Italy in modern and contemporary literature, the subject of her monograph, Tuscan Spaces: Literary Constructions of Place (U of Toronto P, 2010). She has published in a number of scholarly journals such as Studies in Travel Writing, Italian Studies, Annali d'italianistica, Italian Culture and The Italianist and has co-edited the volumes Gendered Contexts: New Perspectives in Italian Cultural Studies (1996) and Mediterranean Travels: Writing Self and Other from the Ancient World to Contemporary Society (Legenda, 2011). Claire Honess is Professor of Italian Studies and Dean of Postgraduate Research Studies at the University of Leeds (UK). She holds a BA in Italian and French and a PhD on Dante, both from the University of Reading (UK). Her book, From Florence to the Heavenly City: The Poetry of Citizenship in Dante, appeared in 2006; she has a continuing interest in medieval political poetry and, in particular, in the way in which Dante uses political ideas and imagery, both in his poetry and in his letters, four of which she has translated into English (MHRA, 2007). She is a co-investigator on the AHRC-funded project ‘Dante and Late-Medieval Florence: Theology in Poetry, Practice and Society', a co-editor of the journal, The Italianist, and Chair of the Society for Italian Studies in the UK and Ireland.

L'histoire de Florence et de la Toscane a été renouvelée en profondeur par la recherche historique depuis une trentaine d'années. Les contributions qui composent cet ouvrage en proposent une synthèse référencée, accessible à un large public. Le livre suit les dynamiques politiques qui ont façonné cet État placé au centre de la péninsule. De la formation lente et périlleuse de l'État de Florence à partir du XIVe siècle, jusqu'à son intégration dans l'Italie unifiée, il en détaille tous les moments (la cité républicaine aux rouages politiques complexes, le long gouvernement des grands-ducs, Médicis puis Habsbourg-Lorraine). Il en présente les acteurs, développe les théories et les représentations qui ont permis de construire et de penser une formation étatique originale. Au moment où la réflexion sur les structures politiques de l'Europe moderne et contemporaine prend ses distances avec l'État-Nation, l'étude de la Toscane suggère de penser autrement les formations politiques d'Ancien Régime, à partir d'une coexistence fondée sur un difficile équilibre entre des instances centralisatrices et la sauvegarde des autonomies des différents corps politiques.

This book examines the alternation between accusative-dative and dative-accusative order in Old Florentine clitic clusters and its decline in favor of the latter. Based on an exhaustive analysis of data collected from medieval Florentine and Tuscan texts we offer a novel analysis of the rise of the variable order, the transition from one order to the other, and the demise of the alternation that relies primarily on iconicity and analogy. The book employs exophoric pragmatic iconicity, a language-external iconic relationship based on similarity between linguistic structure and the speaker/writer's conceptualization of reality, and endophoric iconicity, a language-internal iconic relationship where the iconic ground is construed between linguistic signs and structures. Analogy is viewed as a productive process that generalizes patterns or extends grammatical rules to formally similar structures, and obtains the form of the analogical relationship between the masculine singular definite article and the third person singular accusative clitic, which shared the same phototactically constrained distribution patterns. The data indicate that exophoric pragmatic iconicity exploits and maintains the alternation, whereas endophoric iconicity and analogy conspire to end it.

The man whose name is shorthand for all that is ugly in politics was more nuanced than his reputation suggests. Christopher Celenza’s portrait of Machiavelli removes the varnish to reveal not just the hardnosed philosopher but the skilled diplomat, learned commentator on ancient history, comic playwright, tireless letter writer, and thwarted lover.

Amid the disintegration of the Kingdom of Italy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, a new form of collective government-the commune-arose in the cities of northern and central Italy. Sleepwalking into a New World takes a bold new look at how these autonomous city-states came about, and fundamentally alters our understanding of one of the most important political and cultural innovations of the medieval world.Chris Wickham provides richly textured portraits of three cities-Milan, Pisa, and Rome-and sets them against a vibrant backcloth of other towns. He argues that, in all but a few cases, the elites of these cities and towns developed one of the first nonmonarchical forms of government in medieval Europe, unaware that they were creating something altogether new. Wickham makes clear that the Italian city commune was by no means a democracy in the modern sense, but that it was so novel that outsiders did not know what to make of it. He describes how, as the old order unraveled, the communes emerged, governed by consular elites "chosen by the people," and subject to neither emperor nor king. They regularly fought each other, yet they grew organized and confident enough to ally together to defeat Frederick Barbarossa, the German emperor, at the Battle of Legnano in 1176.Sleepwalking into a New World reveals how the development of the autonomous city-state took place, which would in the end make possible the robust civic culture of the Renaissance.

"Brought to Florence at the instance of Lorenzo de' Medici to become lector to the Dominican community at San Marco, Girolamo Savonarola would ultimately be responsible for the events that convulsed the city in the 1490s and led to the overthrow of the Medici themselves. Savonarola's apocalyptic sermons, preached from the pulpits of San Marco and the Duomo, predicted dire consequences for a sinful Florence, a scourging, if the Florentines did not mend their ways and form themselves into a commonwealth for God. Fully in the ascendant by 1495, Savonarola increasingly used his platform in Florence to urge a renewal of the entire Church, a renovatio ecclesiae that implicated the papacy as a particular impediment to reform. He was accused of heresy and eventually excommunicated by the Borgia pope, Alexander VI, on 13 May 1497. Savonarola refused to acknowledge the validity of the excommunication and defended himself against the charges. But he was soon arrested by the Florentine Signoria--the city's highest magistracy--at the pope's behest. He was then brought to trial for falsely claiming to have seen visions and uttered prophecies, for religious error, and sedition. In a few days it was all over. Girolamo Savonarola was hanged and burned, together with two of his Dominican disciples from San Marco, in Florence's Piazza della Signoria on 23 May 1498, still professing adherence to the Church. Girolamo Savonarola's self-defense, like his visionary teaching, was preached from the pulpits of Florence, but was also carried on through a series of writings. The works presented in this volume were all written by the friar during the dramatic months leading up to his death, as he ever more desperately defended his actions to those who were ranged against him"--Provided by publisher.
