Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation
The enduring \"black legend\" of the Italian Counter-Reformation,
which has held sway in both scholarly and popular culture,
maintains that the Council of Trent ushered in a cultural dark age
in Italy, snuffing out the spectacular creative production of the
Renaissance. As a result, the decades following Trent have been
mostly overlooked in Italian literary studies, in particular. The
thirteen essays of Innovation in the Italian
Counter-Reformation present a radical reconsideration of
literary production in post-Tridentine Italy. With particular
attention to the much-maligned tradition of spiritual literature,
the volume's contributors weave literary analysis together with
religion, theater, art, music, science, and gender to demonstrate
that the literature of this period not only merits study but is
positively innovative. Contributors include such renowned critics
as Virginia Cox and Amadeo Quondam, two of the leading scholars on
the Italian Counter-Reformation.
