    La littérature polémique de la fin du XVIe siècle et du début du XVIIe siècle ne fait que commencer à être étudiée comme telle, du point de vue des stratégies rhétoriques et des tropes littéraires. Cet article propose une analyse littéraire de l’échange polémique entre un prêtre jésuite,...

    Article | Contributor(s): Brian Sandberg

    Malgré que l'édit de Nantes de 1598 soit couramment considéré comme un édit de tolérance ayant mis un terme aux guerres de religions en France, de puissants discours sur Dieu ont continué de susciter des conflits entre calvinistes et catholiques. Ces interprétations ont inspiré les laïques...

    "Ryse Up Elisa” – Woman Trapped in a Lay: Spenser's "Aprill"

    Article | Contributor(s): Marianne Micros

    In Edmund Spenser's "Aprill," Colin Cloute, by creating and controlling an idealized woman, has silenced the source of his own creative power. However, Colin's lay contains hints that Elisa is neither perfect nor passive: complex natural and mythological allusions reveal her vitality and...

    Cet article examine la pratique des ambassadeurs envoyés par les états italiens à la cour du pape Paul II (1464–71), en se concentrant en particulier sur la façon dont ils ont assumé leur rôle d’informateur. Puisque Paul était un pape instable, impénétrable et souvent inaccessible, les...

    Article | Contributor(s): Cristina Mazzoni

    Grazia Deledda's "Nostra Signora del Buon Consiglio" (1899) is a literary fairy tale incorporating ethnographic and Christian elements. It may usefully be read through the lens of Cristina Campo's essays on fairy tales ("Della fiaba," "Una rosa," and "In medio coeli"), because this critic...

    "The praise of that I yeld for sacrifice": Anne Lock and the Poetics of the Eucharist

    Article | Contributor(s): Ben Burton

    La Réforme a provoqué une crise linguistique, tout aussi importante que doctrinale et interprétative, en particulier au sujet de la signification de l’Eucharistie du point de vue des mots, des choses, et des signes. Cet article montre dans quelle mesure la poésie de dévotion d’Anne Vaughan Lock...

    "To Depart from the Earth with Such Writing": Johannes Kepler's Dream of Reading Knowledge

    Article | Contributor(s): Elizabeth A. Spiller

    Johannes Kepler peut être compris comme représentant du conflit entre l'observation et la lecture qui a défini les théories de la connaissance à la Renaissance. Le constat de nouvelles connaissances est devenu difficile dans la mesure où la lecture et l'observation, actes de voir qui promettaient...

  16. "Verie Devout Asses": The Stupid Puritan Clown

    "Verie Devout Asses": The Stupid Puritan Clown

    Article | Contributor(s): Robert Hornback

    Si les puritains de la Renaissance se considéraient comme érudits et rationnels, les auteurs qui leurs étaient contemporains étaient loin de les représenter ainsi. Leur portrait était plutôt marqué par une stupide irrationalité. Apparues en réponse à divers scandales, ces images, incluant le...

  17. "What should we do?": The Predicament of Practical Reason in Hamlet

    "What should we do?": The Predicament of Practical Reason in Hamlet

    Article | Contributor(s): Eric P. Levy

    Fondamentalement, ce qui se passe dans Hamlet ne concerne ni l'action ni les antécédents de l'action, mais la mise en cause de la doctrine de l'action rationnelle, donc de la raison pratique. La conséquence de cette critique radicale est de réviser la fin des intentions humaines ainsi que les...

    “[T]he fault of the man and not the poet”: Sidney’s Troubled Double Vision of Thomas More’s Utopia

    Article | Contributor(s): Daniel T. Lochman

    In the Defence of Poesy, Philip Sidney refers puzzlingly to Thomas More and Utopia. He praises the “way” this work presents a commonwealth yet faults the man who produced it. Sidney might have followed religious writers who condemned More’s Catholicism and his use of poetic fictions rather than...

    “A Plott to have his nose and eares cutt of”: Schoppe as Seen by the Archbishop of Canterbury

    Article | Contributor(s): Winfried Schleiner

    That Gaspar Schoppe, author of several stinging publications against James I, was brutally attacked in a Madrid street in 1614 has often been dismissed as the victim’s larmoyant exaggeration of a mere licking, although Schoppe claimed that it was an attempt on his life. But there is a letter...
