Policy on Recording and Live
Broadcasting
Audio recording, video recording, and live broadcasting of sessions is
not permitted without the prior express consent of speakers and audi-
ence members, in order to protect the privacy and intellectual property
rights of conference participants. Violators will be asked to leave the
conference, and may be barred from attending future RSA conferences.
In rare circumstances, members of the media may record short pieces
designed to convey the conference atmosphere. Such arrangements must
be made through the Renaissance Society of America and require the
consent of all speakers at a session. When recording is approved, a rep-
resentative of the Renaissance Society of America will accompany the
reporter and crew. The session organizer will announce to the audience
that audio or video recording will take place during a part of the session.
Only background recording is allowed, not the recording of an entire
session.
Members of the media may occasionally record short segments at non-
session events, such as receptions. Such arrangements must be made
through the Renaissance Society of America.
Requests for exceptions must be made in writing to the Renaissance
Society of America and relevant speakers at least thirty (30) days before
the conference.

Lisa Jardine’s scholarship was about the Renaissance and of the Renaissance. She
excelled in math and science as well as literary criticism, she was capable of handling
cultural history from a multilingual perspective, and like the protagonist of Erasmus,
Man of Letters, she was a beloved teacher whose influence lives on in the scholars
she nurtured. This roundtable will link Jardine’s scholarship with her teaching
practice — the real cornerstone of her legacy. While her scholarship provides an
immersive experience of the worlds she studied, it is through her teaching that she
truly revived Renaissance ideals. Fittingly for the twenty-fifth anniversary of From
Humanism to the Humanities with Anthony Grafton, Jardine herself kept alive a
tradition of impassioned research that relied on trust, generosity, and collaboration.
In that spirit, the panelists will link highlights of Jardine’s scholarship with personal
tributes to her work as a teacher and colleague.

Recent work, and not so recent work, on the poetry of Andrew Marvell has embedded
his lyrics and his Restoration satires deeply in the fabric of occasions, preoccupations,
and events contemporary with the poet’s life in Yorkshire and London. The aim of this
roundtable is to consider the benefits but as well the costs of historicizing procedures.
It is clear that the varieties of historicism have taught us a good deal about Marvell’s
responsiveness to the texts and events and persons of his own time; we should as well
consider what has been unlearned by the procedures of historicism.

Pour J.-P. Cavaillé, la notion d’acceptabilité est une notion heuristique qui a
montré sa validité pour l’étude de textes possédant une dimension dissidente. La
notion doit sa fécondité à sa double pertinence linguistique et sociale. C’est par
un processus de négociation, d’arbitrage très dépendant de l’environnement social
que des expressions, des énoncés, mais aussi des textes et des représentations
sont sanctionnés comme acceptables dans certaines circonstances (“acceptabilité
restreinte”). Cette question du seuil d’acceptabilité sera sujet à débat à partir de trois
groupes d’exemples: des textes de la mouvance réformée s’écartant de l’orthodoxie
calvinienne (Postel, Joris, Castellion); des contes merveilleux aux auxiliaires
magiques très particuliers (Straparola, Basile); des productions françaises des années
1620 (Bruscambille, Sorel).

In recent decades, Andrew Marvell’s status as just one of the metaphysical poets
anthologized by Helen Gardner has advanced to that of, arguably, someone of
literary and political significance second only to John Milton. By way of marking
the launch of Marvell Studies (founding editor Matt Augustine, University of St.
Andrews), the roundtable will seek to assess the current state and future directions
of Marvell studies.

Discussants: Cynthia J. Brown, University of California, Santa Barbara;
David Cowling, Durham University;
Olga Anna Duhl, Lafayette College;
Paul White, University of Leeds
Text production in Renaissance France was a multifaceted editorial task that became
increasingly an issue of intellectual property in the course of the sixteenth century, as
exemplified by famous literary disputes, such as the one that developed between D.
Lambin and M. A. Muret following the printing of Horace’s Opera omnia in 1561.
The proposed roundtable discussion aims at examining the notion of intellectual
property and the different ways in which it was appropriated by authors, editors,
and printers throughout the Renaissance, as well as our own experiences as textual
critics. This will lead to a reexamination of the boundaries of the contemporary
notion of intellectual property, including the criteria on which it is based in light of
the shift in editorial practices that characterizes current text production.

Anne Lake Prescott, Barnard College;
Sarah C. E. Ross, Victoria University of Wellington;
Susanne Woods, University of Miami
In Teaching Tudor and Stuart Women Writers (2000), Susanne Woods and Margaret
P. Hannay argued that scholars who wished to see a greater emphasis on women’s
writing in the curriculum would need to challenge two assumptions: that the
surviving writing by early modern women could not be defined as “literary”; and
that even the kind of writing by women that might be considered “literary” (given
the right circumstances) would turn out to be inferior to analogous writing by men
when examined from an aesthetic perspective. They concluded that it would take
time for instructors and students to develop sophisticated enough reading practices
to be able to wrestle with women’s writing in the classroom. This roundtable will
aim to ascertain how much progress we have made to date, as well as how we have
made it, and what steps we should be looking to take in the coming years.

Sarah G. Ross, Boston College;
Lisa M. Sampson, University of Reading
Our session aims to redress the long-standing historiographical emphasis on secular,
“erudite” theater, as opposed to the religious, popular, and professional theater
that emerged in late Renaissance Italy. Discussants will explore connections and
influence among these traditions in order to focus on new works and dramatists
such as Maddalena Campiglia, Margherita Costa, and Giovan Battista Andreini.
Our panel will consider late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century theater’s relation
to courts, secular and lay religious civic organizations, and print media. While
our focus will be primarily Italian theater, given the itinerant nature of actors and
theatrical texts, we will also be examining French and English contexts. Considering
theater’s involvement in musical and artistic media, our panelists will also address
the fruitful convergence of more traditional theatrical genres with the rise of opera
and ballet. In short, as other national traditions were becoming firmly established
elsewhere in Europe, what could Italian innovations offer?

Using major research infrastructure projects like the Renaissance Knowledge
Network, Iter, and the Advanced Research Consortium as a framework, this
roundtable will discuss the community- and connectivity-building aspects of such
efforts. It draws on perspectives from other large infrastructure projects, academics
working in the content area, and relevant specialist advisers. The roundtable is open
to feedback on how innovative digital tools best serve literary scholars working in
Renaissance areas, and also for traditional scholars to critique and question the
current contours of the project.

Although Dorothy Arundell’s original work remained in manuscript and is now lost,
her English-language Life of the Jesuit John Cornelius, executed for treason under
Elizabethan law in 1594, is being reconstructed from six or more contemporary
Latin and Romance translations, both manuscript and print. Only recently
identified and suggestive of scribal publication, these multiple witnesses together
indicate redactions by English historiographers and confirm instances of Arundell’s
gripping imagery, command of local toponymy, and syntactic idiosyncrasies. This
roundtable aims to share and gather methods of translation analysis, particularly
those employed by contemporary proponents of “retranslation,” “appropriative
translation,” and” invisible translation.” We also apply traditional philological
methodologies—such as the elaboration of stemmata from loci communes—to
digital platforms. Scholars with related experience or ongoing projects are especially
welcome to evaluate the literary, linguistic, and historical practices most useful in
reconstructing sources similarly “found” in translation.

The history of the Spanish literary masterpiece Celestina has been shaped by the
inclusion of images from the very first edition (1499). The following five centuries
were punctuated by many illustrated editions, imaginary portraits of the eponymous
procuress Celestina by painters such as Murillo, Goya, and Picasso, and, recently,
cinema adaptations. Considered second only to Don Quixote, Celestina is the
landmark separating the medieval and the Renaissance periods of Spanish literature.
It connects directly with the comedia humanistica and with Terence’s legacy. The
graphic treatment of Celestina in the first illustrated editions (woodcuts), their
connection to the manuscript tradition of Terence’s comedies, the treatment in
the fine arts (paintings, statues) and in the arts of the camera (cinema adaptations,
pictures of the dramatic performances, advertising posters, etc.), as well as in many
other media (postal stamps and lottery tickets with Celestina images) will be analyzed
in this roundtable.

The Folger Shakespeare Library has three large-scale digital projects underway:
Folger Digital Texts, Early Modern Manuscripts Online, and A Digital Anthology
of Early Modern English Drama. This roundtable will highlight questions raised by
the engagement with and reinvention of digital texts across these multiple projects.
What does a philology for the digital age look like? What is the role of an independent
research library in presenting these texts and their digital environment? What does it
mean to open such projects to undergraduates, to citizen humanists, and to experts
in a variety of disciplines? How do editorial policies shape answers to technical
problems of encoding transcription, collaborative editing, and version control?
How do disparate projects share resources, encourage productive collaborations,
and engage diverse audiences? Most of all, how will such digital projects shift our
understanding of the early modern age?

For over a century the city of Florence was a keystone in both Renaissance
historiography and the grand narrative of Western civilization. The significant
changes that have reshaped the discipline of history since the 1960s, while deepening
understanding of the city, have also demonstrated that Florence was as much a
typical early modern urban society as it was an exceptional precursor to modernity.
More recently, the profound suspicion of metanarratives that accompanied the rise
of postmodern and poststructural thought, as well as the rejection of Eurocentrism
articulated by postcolonial scholarship, has only increased the problematization of
Florence’s place in Renaissance historiography. Simultaneously, recent scholarship
has increasingly focused on other cities on the peninsula whose histories seem to
fit the concerns of twenty-first-century historiography and new narratives of the
Renaissance better than Florence. This roundtable will consider where Florence sits
in the historiographical concerns of the early twenty-first century.

Montaigne famously observed that “Rome is the most universal city in the world . . .
everyone is as if at home.” Recent research has offered a much better appreciation
of the role played by the various “nations” who proudly built their churches in the
Eternal City, and scholars are now recovering the presence of significant numbers of
non-Catholics within the walls and the challenges they posed to those who would
convert them. Nonetheless, much work remains to be done on the constituent
parts of this most peculiar of cities, in which unmarried males enjoyed such a
disproportionate demographical dominance. This roundtable will consider the
broad social spectrum of Rome from a wide range of “topographical” perspectives—
from classroom to courtroom, curial chambers to city offices, palaces to prisons,
hospitals to “hang-outs”. So, too, the streets themselves, especially during the sede
vacante, became theaters of violence.

A mi-chemin entre minéral, végétal, animal, et humain, certains êtres intermédiaires
suscitent le trouble dans les tentatives d’organisation du vivant, mettant au défi les
visions reçues de la nature. La chaîne des êtres (scala naturae) répartit les créatures en
les séparant par une différence infime qui établit à la fois leur continuité progressive
et leur inégalité constitutive. Cependant, cette hiérarchie linéaire héritée d’Aristote
se voit bouleversée au profit de connivences transversales entre les règnes. Au XVIe
siècle, début de l’âge d’or scientifique des curiosités et des merveilles naturelles
ressortissant au règne du praeter naturam, ces mirabilia intéressent récits, gravures et
collections. Le goût néo-platonicien pour les créatures fabuleuses et insolites célèbre
la prodigalité de Nature plutôt que son agencement ordonné. La table ronde, conçue
comme un cabinet de curiosités, réfléchira aux conflictualités marquant l’Europe
pré-moderne entre le principe d’un étagement des règnes et une conception plus
poreuse des frontières du vivant.

This roundtable addresses attribution problems presented by the scribal
transcriptions of prose letters found on LR1 folios 294r–303v. Published studies
have distinguished two transcribing hands, generally labeled “D” and “P.” We will
review evidence for these categories and estimate their bearing on attributing letters
to Donne. Bibliographical evidence has conclusively shown that three LR1 letters
transcribed by “D” and “P” are Donne’s. Stylistic and biographical evidence in
twenty-three other LR1 letters has been the main basis in conjectural arguments
attributing them either to Donne or to a correspondent addressing him. With what
certainty can such internal evidence help to identify authors and recipients of LR1
letters? In addition to considering these matters, we will discuss a tentative list of
LR1 letters we plan to publish.

In this roundtable, participants will discuss what future digital projects for early
modern studies and special collections libraries might look like. Many current
early modern digital projects (at the Folger and elsewhere) have focused on the
transcription, tagging, and data mining of texts. Digital Futures will turn our
attention to other possible areas of exploration for early modern digital studies,
including the production of early prints, attention to the material features of books
and manuscripts, creating and displaying annotations, and new tools for visualizing
provenance and circulation. The conversation will focus on the opportunities and
challenges for tomorrow’s digital agendas.

Best known for his influential collection of Italian lyric poetry, Petrarch was also a
remarkable classical scholar, a deeply religious thinker and a philosopher of secular
ethics. Comprising eighteen essays written by leading scholars, The Cambridge
Companion to Petrarch views Petrarch’s life through his works. The author is
revealed as the heir to the converging influences of classical cultural and medieval
Christianity, but also to his great vernacular precursors. Particular attention is given
to Petrarch’s profound influence on the humanist movement and on the courtly cult
of vernacular love poetry, while raising important questions as to the validity of the
distinction between medieval and modern and what is lost in attempting to classify
this elusive figure. Three leading scholars with interests and expertise relevant to the
volume’s wide range of concerns will join the editors and three other contributors.

The 2000s and early 2010s have seen a proliferation of studies on the Global
Renaissance. Global Renaissance scholarship understands the world of the fifteenth
to seventh centuries to be much more culturally fluid than has been traditionally
understood and takes as a central focus the interactions and influences of non-
European cultures with Renaissance-era Europe, seeing such interactions as having
broad and enduring significance. Yet some have suggested that the high-water mark
of this scholarly focus has passed and that, rather than reflecting a paradigm shift
in Renaissance studies, Global Renaissance studies may turn out to be a passing
scholarly fad spurred by contemporary geopolitical factors. This roundtable will
discuss the state of Global Renaissance scholarship, consider the degree to which this
scholarship has indeed achieved a fundamental reorienting of Renaissance studies,
and assess the promise of this approach for future scholarship.

A two-part roundtable marking the fourth centenary of Shakespeare’s death.
Commemorations around the world include the first ever national tour of copies
of the Folger’s First Folio. This first of two linked sessions will focus on the Folio
itself as a material object, sacred relic, cultural capital and commodity, springboard
for digitization, as well as a “monument without a tomb.” Participants will also
discuss Henry Clay Folger’s passion for collecting, the excitement stirred by the
recent discovery of a First Folio at St. Omer seminary, and how such a landmark text
fits into or exemplifies a contemporary turn to object-focused histories.

Beginning with the court of Henry VIII, composing what we would characterize as
literary texts was more the rule than the exception for early modern British monarchs
and their close associates. Although there are obvious incentives for princes to
write poesy broadly understood (intervention in cultural, religious, and political
debate; demonstrating mastery in the competitive game of literary wit; authoritative
endorsement of a genre or form) there are equally obvious complications—not least
the fact that most royal authors were never really going to write as well as their
most talented subjects. This roundtable invites conversation about how Henry VIII,
Catherine Parr, and Elizabeth in particular navigated these and other issues in
literary writing. Panelists will address what literary composition could achieve that
other forms of authority could not in the context of sixteenth-century England.

On the twenty-first anniversary of the 1995 publication of Clare Farago’s much
cited edited volume Reframing the Renaissance: Visual Culture in Europe and Latin
America, 1450–1650, this roundtable reflects on its role in transforming the way
we approach the Renaissance and the visual cultures of the early modern world.
Among the topics to be addressed are how the book has helped precipitate broader
geographical, temporal, historical, conceptual, and methodological reformulations
of the Renaissance and its intersection with contemporaneous visual cultures
worldwide. What challenges do we still face in writing and teaching histories of
art produced within the contexts of exploration, colonialism, global contact,
and international trading networks? How can this rethinking of the Renaissance
be expanded to encompass other scholarly arenas? Following the roundtable, the
audience is invited to participate in the conversation, offering their perspectives on
the impact of the volume and its implications for future scholarship.

The second part of a roundtable marking the fourth centenary of Shakespeare’s
death will focus on the role of an anniversary in prompting assessments of
various kinds. Panelists will explore the impact of this enduring literary legacy on
contemporary culture, the current state of Shakespeare studies, and its value for
the humanities and human knowledge. How do scholars use this anniversary to
advance public outreach and bridge gaps between scholarly agendas and public
interest? Topics to be addressed include Shakespeare and science, with a suggested
shift in a question from how did Shakespeare use his knowledge of science to how
did Shakespeare’s plays make knowledge; current debates on Shakespeare, religion,
and secularization; political economy and cultural studies; and new approaches to
studying Shakespeare’s language.
