[English Histories. England seen from Italy between History and Fiction (17th Century). With the Edition of the Cappuccino Scozzese by Giovan Battista Rinuccini (1644) and of the Cromuele by Girolamo Graziani (1677)] The essays in this volume investigate the cultural relations between Italy and Great Britain in the seventeenth century, examining Italian Baroque “Novels” that are set in Britain or have a British topic, the seventeenth-century Italian historical works on British history, and the figures of that century who have contributed to the knowledge of British culture and society in Italy. What emerges from the contributors’ varied methodological approaches is a lively picture in which religious issues are often intertwined with politics and history with myth. It was this seventeenth century preoccupation with Britain that laid the foundation of “Anglomania” which characterizes eighteenth-century Italian culture. The volume also includes the editions of Giovanni Battista Rinuccini’s Cappuccino Scozzese (1644) and Girolamo Graziani’s Cromuele (1671).

Abstract
[English Histories. England seen from Italy between History and Fiction (17th Century). With the Edition of the Cappuccino Scozzese by Giovan Battista Rinuccini (1644) and of the Cromuele by Girolamo Graziani (1677)] The essays in this volume investigate the cultural relations between Italy and Great Britain in the seventeenth century, examining Italian Baroque “Novels” that are set in Britain or have a British topic, the seventeenth-century Italian historical works on British history, and the figures of that century who have contributed to the knowledge of British culture and society in Italy. What emerges from the contributors’ varied methodological approaches is a lively picture in which religious issues are often intertwined with politics and history with myth. It was this seventeenth century preoccupation with Britain that laid the foundation of “Anglomania” which characterizes eighteenth-century Italian culture. The volume also includes the editions of Giovanni Battista Rinuccini’s Cappuccino Scozzese (1644) and Girolamo Graziani’s Cromuele (1671).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
