Series Statement:
Anglo-Italian Renaissance studies
Content:
Rome was tantamount to its ruins, a dismembered body, to the eyes of those ⁰́₃ Italians and foreigners ⁰́₃ who visited the city in the years prior to or encompassing the lengthy span of the Renaissance. Drawing on the double movement of archaeological exploration and creative reconstruction entailed in the humanist endeavour to ⁰́₈resurrect⁰́₉ the past, ⁰́₈ruins⁰́₉ are seen as taking precedence over ⁰́₈myth⁰́₉, in Shakespeare⁰́₉s Rome. They are assigned the role of a heuristic model, and discovered in all their epistemic relevance in Shakespeare⁰́₉s dramatic vision of history and his negotiation of modernity. This is the first book of its kind to address Shakespeare⁰́₉s relationship with Rome⁰́₉s authoritative myth, archaeologically, by taking as a point of departure a chronological reversal, namely the vision of the ⁰́₈eternal⁰́₉ city as a ruinous scenario and hence the ways in which such a layered, ⁰́₈silent⁰́₉, and aporetic scenario allows for an archaeo-anatomical approach to Shakespeare⁰́₉s Roman works.
