Described by the author as a Renaissance soap opera, Immortali is a late sixteenth-century feast of pleasure and pain, exploring mysticism and heresy, tensions and jealousies, illusion and reality, smouldering passion, and murderous intrigue in Tuscany and Venice. This is an emotionally familiar debut novel, strangely exotic and heady as a Venetian perfume. Colourful actors with familiar names and the evil machinations of a masked villain drive the relentless action. The book brims with vivid scenes and an expert knowledge of the period, yet it is also a novel for today, a coming-of-age in an exciting era in which a young girl s longing for love and fame is the timeless theme. Made pregnant by rape and forced to flee her home, spoiled little rich girl, Giulia, finds life with the travelling actors harsh. But perhaps there s more to them than she realized. Can the charismatic Arlecchino, whom she adores in spite of his brutal treatment of her, really walk on air and step from one world to another? In pursuit of her dream to become the Immortali s leading lady, Giulia is drawn into the darkest supernatural peril. The flames of the Inquisition are stoked in readiness and only a miracle can save her.

A History of Early Modern Women's Writing is essential reading for students and scholars working in the field of early modern British literature and history. This collaborative book of twenty-two chapters offers an expansive, multifaceted narrative of British women's literary and textual production in the period stretching from the English Reformation to the Restoration. Chapters work together to trace the contours of a diverse body of early modern women's writing, aligning women's texts with the major literary, political, and cultural currents with which they engage. Contributors examine and take account of developments in critical theory, feminism, and gender studies that have influenced the reception, reading, and interpretation of early modern women's writing. This book explicates and interrogates significant methodological and critical developments in the past four decades, guiding and testing scholarship in this period of intense activity in the recovery, dissemination, and interpretation of women's writing.

Italian cinemas after the war were filled by audiences who had come to watch domestically-produced films of passion and pathos. These highly emotional and consciously theatrical melodramas posed moral questions with stylish flair, redefining popular ways of feeling about romance, family, gender, class, Catholicism, Italy, and feeling itself. The Operatic and the Everyday in Postwar Italian Film Melodrama argues for the centrality of melodrama to Italian culture. It uncovers a wealth of films rarely discussed before including family melodramas, the crime stories of neorealismo popolare and opera films, and provides interpretive frameworks that position them in wider debates on aesthetics and society. The book also considers the well-established topics of realism and arthouse auteurism, and re-thinks film history by investigating the presence of melodrama in neorealism and post-war modernism. It places film within its broader cultural context to trace the connections of canonical melodramatists like Visconti and Matarazzo to traditions of opera, the musical theatre of the sceneggiata, visual arts, and magazines. In so doing it seeks to capture the artistry and emotional experiences found within a truly popular form.

Volume 1 includes the original Acta Authentica of the synod, here published for the first time. Following the Acta Authentica, the corresponding acts, as first published in the Acta Synodi Nationalis ... Dordrechti Habitae (Leiden, 1620), are reprinted; these published Acta were a significantly revised version, for stylistic and political purposes, of the original Acta Authentica. Also included are the Acta Contracta, a topical summary of the Acta Authentica, and the minutes of the meetings of the state delegates, who represented the Dutch government at the synod; neither of these has been previously published. This volume begins with a general introduction to the Synod of Dordt and its context, an introduction to the Acta Authentica, the published Acta and Acta Contracta, and an introduction to the role of the state delegates and the minutes of their meetings.
