Abstract: The gradual secularization of European society and culture is often said to characterize the development of the modern world, and the early Italian humanists played a pioneering role in this process. Here Benjamin G. Kohl and Ronald G. Witt, with Elizabeth B. Welles, have edited and translated seven primary texts that shed important light on the subject of civic humanism in the Renaissance.Included is a treatise of Francesco Petrarca on government, two representative letters from Coluccio Salutati, Leonardo Bruni's panegyric to Florence, Francesco Barbaro's letter on wifely duty, Poggio Bracciolini's dialogue on avarice, and Angelo Poliziano's vivid history of the Pazzi conspiracy. Each translation is prefaced by an essay on the author and a short bibliography. The substantial introductory essay offers a concise, balanced summary of the historiographcal issues connected with the period.
TL;DR: In this paper, Francesco Orlando combines a theoretical approach to Freudian theory with a practical application of the theory via a reading of Racine's Phedre, focusing on the recurrence of specific formal structures.
Abstract: translated by Charmaine Lee In this ingeniously crafted work of structural criticism, Francesco Orlando combines a theoretical approach to Freudian theory (seen through Freud's masterful treatise on jokes) with a practical application of the theory via a reading of Racine's Phedre. By focusing on the recurrence of specific formal structures (and not on the recurrence of common contents), Orlando's model is capable of ordering all kinds of contents, whether comic or serious, hidden or declared, sexual or political. $16.00
