Add to basketedited by Clare Lapraik Guest. Fabrizo Serra, 2009, pp. 300 con figure in bianco / nero - EARLY MODERN AND MODERN STUDIES Diretta da Roy Eriksen --- «This collection of essays comprises a series of responses to the theme of genre in literature and visual art from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries - from the Florentine Renaissance to the French Enlightenment. They deal with Italian art and literature, with Spanish painting and literature, with the rise of the French roman and with English poetry and poetics. The essays are disparate in their themes and approaches, yet a number of common threads appear. These common threads will be familiar from the important work in genre studies of Rosalie Colie in The Resources of Kind (1973) and Alastair Fowler in Kinds of Literature (1982). A number of the essays are also informed by the work of Bakhtin, and take a 'dialogic' approach which stresses openness and elasticity in the use of genre. The leading article in the collection, by Alastair Fowler, gives a succinct overview by an authority in the field - one whose remarks on the use of genre as mode or field, rather than category, are borne out by the following essays. His article thus provides many of the lines with which the subsequent contributions work». (from the Introduction) «Il volume, miscellaneo, raccoglie una serie di lavori sul tema del 'genere' nella letteratura e nelle arti visive dal Quindicesimo al Diciottesimo secolo - dal Rinascimento fiorentino all'Illuminismo francese. Gli articoli trattano dell'arte e della letteratura italiana, della pittura e della letteratura spagnola, della nascita del romanzo francese, della poesia e della poetica inglesi; essi sono diversificati per temi d'interesse e per punti di vista, tuttavia si possono notare una serie di tratti comuni, che derivano dalla familiarità con due importanti opere sul 'genere': The Resources of Kind (1973) di Rosalie Colie e Kinds of Literature (1982) di Alastair Fowler. Un certo numero di saggi sono poi ispirati dall'opera di Bakhtin ed hanno un approccio 'dialogico' che mette in evidenza l'ampiezza e l'elasticità nell'uso del termine 'genere'. L'articolo-guida della miscellanea, di Alastair Fowler, offre una panoramica essenziale dell'argomento, elaborata da un'autorità nell'ambito di questi studi - uno studioso le cui osservazioni sull'uso del genere come costume o settore di attività, piuttosto che come categoria, sono sostenute dai saggi che qui si presentano. In questo modo il suo lavoro fornisce molte delle linee di sviluppo con le quali gli altri scritti si confrontano». (Dall'Introduzione) Contents: Notes on Contributors.
