Constructing Cultural Authority and ‘Canonicity’in the Italian Literature Sphere (1300-1600) & The Dante Canon (1300-1600)
The first workshop (Wednesday, May 22) aims to explore the construction of poetic and cultural authority and 'canonicity' in Italian literature from the Trecento to the Cinquecento. Papers would explore the ways in which authors and their authority are 'constructed' both within and outside texts, their own or those of others; through the production, but also the circulation and reproduction of literature; through rewritings, biographies, and poetic theories; through the material features of books.
Organizers: Laura Banella, Zygmunt G. Barański, Theodore J. Cachey Jr., Francesco Feriozzi.
