• W832878889 abstract "Michele Marrapodi, ed., Italian Culture in the Drama of Shakespeare & his Contemporaries: Rewriting, Remaking, Refashioning (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007). 302pp. ISBN 978 0 7546 5504 6.Michele Marrapodi brings to readers another collection of essays contributing to what is already a substantial body of collaborative work on the cultural influence of Italy in the English literary Renaissance.1 Marrapodi's scholarly strength is informed by an enthusiastic embrace of Bakhtin's thesis that cultural formation is a dialogic process, evidenced here not only by the content of these essays, but also by the involvement of a wide range of both well-established and emerging scholars in the field whose interests include historicism, gender representation, source criticism, textual editing and performance practice.Throughout, the collection assists the reader in engaging with previous scholarly work, providing ample footnotes and bibliographical references to important investigations into Anglo-Italian intertextuality and the topical use of Italian locations in English literature. This provides a clear overview of the 'archetypal or seminal legacy' (p. 1) that Italy presented to the rest of Renaissance Europe in the form of political ideas and literary narratives, and surveys what is known about the ways in which this legacy might be transformed by processes of contaminatio into what Louise George Clubb has described as 'theatregrams', a recognisable repertoire of Italian tropes circulating in early English drama. In addition to summarising existing approaches, this collection also helps to develop a more nuanced sense of how, over time, writers of dramatic texts self-consciously drew on this repertoire ostensibly to highlight differences between Italy and England but in fact to explore or even to critique their own culture.The book is organised in three parts. The first part, 'Rewriting Italian Prose and Drama', aims to move beyond traditional source studies to examine how particular Italian sources and tropes could be distilled into tropes ripe for combination through semi-improvisatory stage practice into new dramatic material. The Commedia dell' Arte provides here a useful overarching conceptual framework, suggesting ways in which a repertoire of types might be circulated and used creatively to generate new genres. Louise George Clubb's opening essay compares English dramatic compositional method to jazz, reminding readers that Polonius's distinction in Hamlet between plays governed by 'the law of writ and the liberty' (Hamlet 2.2) refers to a common contemporary distinction between scripted and improvisatory drama. She suggests that this distinction cleared the path for the emergence of pastoral tragicomedy, breaking out of the Aristotelian tragedy-comedy binary of entirely scripted humanist drama: 'the third genre was needed to free and to legitimate fancy' (p. 18). Shakespeare, if not the editors of the first folio, clearly understood that plays like the late romances were breaking new generic ground: 'his methods are an intensified application of the modern Italian technology of ransacking, collection and recombining, adapting and re-costuming from an international repertory within an established framework, a framework in which the pastoral play had assumed a unique and potent position' (p. 25). Essays by Frances K. Barasch on the diabolical Anglo-continental association of harlequin and 'harlotry' in Henry IV, by Robert Henke again on the influence of commedia dell' arte on Hamlet, and by Jill Phillips Ingram on George Gascoigne's alterations to Ariosto's I Suppositi productively develop our understanding of the linkage between the English stage and Italian theatre. Ingram's essay is particularly useful in negotiating the gap between drama in performance and as a text, paying attention to the difference between the Italian original and the early printed editions of the English adaptation. Gascoigne's Supposes, as printed in the anthology The Posies (1575), included marginal notes drawing readers' attention to the various deceptions in the play. …" @default.
