italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Hi Francesco,
I wouldn't wish to go into details here, but the topic (Dante's
Nineteenth-Century Reception: Francesca da Rimini and the Idea of Italy)
which the short chapter of 9 pages attempts to cover is far too vast by any
standards. There are good books and articles in English and Italian on the
subject of Dante's 19th-century reception, but I just think that the
conference at York has a good chance of furthering and synthesizing current
research on this topic.
Best wishes,
Penny

>>Dear Colleagues,
>>
>>This conference announced by Corinna Salvadori Lonergan is timely and it
>>fits in well with the fantastic exhibition currently on show on Dante's
>>critical fortunes at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. This exhibition and the
>>accompanying catalogue was announced to this group a couple of weeks ago.
>>The exhibition is well worth a visit. But the catalogue is even more
>>worthy of attention and contains many very penetrating chapters on Dante,
>>Petrarch and Boccaccio (Italy's Three Crowns: Reading Dante, Petrarch, and
>>Boccaccio, ed. Zigmunt Baranski and Martin McLaughlin (Bodleian Library
>>2007)). The two outstanding contributions on the 19th-20th centuries are
>>by John Woodhouse (on 'Dante and the Rossetti Family') and Diego Zancani
>>('Paget Toynbee's Dante Collection, which is fascinating but is straddles
>>the centuries!!). The chapter by Alex McMillan on 'Dante's
>>Nineteenth-Cenury Reception (which should provide the seed corn for the
>>conference under discussion) is in fact very disappointing and raises many
>>more questions than it answers; and it is the weakest of all the the other
>>very good contributions. I would therfore counsel contributors to the York
>>conference to read McMillan's chapter and to do better.
>>
>>Best wishes alll,

>>>Colleagues may like to have advance notice of a conference scheduled for

>>>
>>>DANTE IN THE 19th CENTURY
>>>
>>>Reception, Canonicity, Popularization
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>A two-day conference at King’s Manor, University of York
>>>
>>>on 15-16 July 2008
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>The nineteenth century saw the rehabilitation of Dante as a
>>>Romantic and national poet, his recognition by Ruskin as ‘the central man
>>>of all the world’, the Comedy’s emergence as an educational
>>>best-seller, and the poet’s establishment as the subject of a critical
>>>industry. His reception (particularly in English-speaking cultures) over
>>>this period, from Romanticism to Modernism, has itself been the subject
>>>of a number of important studies.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>This conference seeks to extend the scope of research on this subject in
>>>a number of ways, and papers on any aspect of Dante’s world-wide
>>>reception from c. 1780 to c. 1914 will be considered. The forms in which
>>>his work is circulated and popularized at this time will be a particular
>>>concern, as will his appropriation by various forms of nationalism.
>>>Although Dante’s presence in the work of the period’s major literary
>>>figures will be recognized, papers on the visual and performing arts and
>>>other kinds of cultural appropriation will also be especially
>>>welcome.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>The plenary speaker will be Professor Michael Caesar, editor of
>>>Dante: the Critical Heritage. There will be 6 other sessions
>>>over the two days, with space for approximately 18 papers of 20 mins
>>>each. Proposals for papers (max. 300 words) are now invited
>>>and should be sent by 30 November 2007 to:
