italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear friends and colleagues,
I would like to bring the following event to your attention.
The European Humanities Research Centre at Oxford and the Department
of Italian at the University of Cambridge is pleased to announce the
launch of a collective volume to honour Prof. Patrick Boyde for his
outstanding career as one of the leading British Dantist.
The title of the volume is: Science and Literature in Italian Culture
From Dante to Calvino. A Festschrift for Patrick Boyde. Edited by
Pierpaolo Antonello and Simon A. Gilson (Legenda: Oxford, 2004)
Leading scholars from Britain, North America and Italy have
contributed to this collection of twelve original essays in honour of
Pat Boyde. Encompassing a variety of authors and topics across four
broad periods-Medieval, Renaissance, Enlightenment to Positivism, and
the Twentieth Century-the volume explores new connections between the
discourses of literature and science. Topics include the nature and
scope of science in the literary output of major figures; the
relationship between specific genres and scientific and philosophical
contexts; and the reception and transmission of science in literary
texts and of literature in scientific works.
