The Genevan Reveil in International Perspective
The nineteenth-century international religious movement known as the Réveil had a major impact on Protestantism, and particularly on Evangelicalism. That impact is still evident today. Yet as a multi-faceted phenomenon, this movement has not received its due share of scholarly attention. This book offers a collection of essays exploring the international dimensions of the Genevan strand of the Réveil, providing an overview of events and trends, outlining the careers of some of its key figures, and highlighting some of the areas in which it made a contribution to contemporary society. As the first such collection to focus on this movement, it brings together scholars from several countries, with expertise in its various aspects.

The Life and Times of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles
This book sheds light on the career of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, and in doing so touches on numerous aspects of nineteenth-century British and European religious history. Several recent scholars have celebrated the 200th anniversary of the German textual critic Tischendorf but Tregelles, his contemporary English rival, has been neglected, despite his achievements being comparable. In addition to his decisive contribution to Biblical textual scholarship, this study of Tregelles’ career sheds light on developments among Quakers in the period, and Tregelles’s enthusiastic involvement with the early nineteenth-century Welsh literary renaissance usefully supplements recent studies on Iolo Morganwg. The early career of Tregelles also gives valuable fresh detail to the origins of the Plymouth Brethren, (in both England and Italy) the study of whose early history has become more extensive over the last twenty years. The whole of Tregelles’s career therefore illuminates neglected aspects of Victorian religious life.

L'Antologia di Gian Pietro Vieusseux
Excerpt from L'Antologia di Gian Pietro Vieusseux: Storia di una Rivista Italiana L'opera del Tommaseo rimaneva, che degna mente trattasse del giornale fiorentino, e di chilo fondò e lo diresse: un'opera sola, ma tale da far veramente sentire il peso della propria piccolez za a chi volesse cimentarsi nell' istesso argomen to. All'uomo già. Vecchio, ed esperto, per lunghi anni d'esilio, della vita e degli uomini, e per la fecondità. Sua, di giornali molti di vari luoghi e paesi, memore gratitudine e affetto non mai smentito la dettarono: non però che l'affetto e la gratitudine facesser ombra al giudizio. E benchè, nello scriverla, il Capponi lo soccorse di consigli e d'aiuti, è delle co...
Vergil in the Middle Ages
From its first complete Italian printing in 1872 up to the present day, Domenico Comparetti's Vergil in the Middle Ages has been acknowledged as a masterpiece, regarded by some critics as "a true and proper history of European consciousness from antiquity to Dante." Treating Vergil's poetry as a foundation of Latin European identity, Comparetti seeks to give a complete history of the medieval conception of the preeminent poet. Scholars of the time had transformed Vergil into a sage and a seer, a type of universal philosopher--even a Christian poet and a guide of a Christian poet. In the mid-twelfth century, there surfaced legends that converted Vergil into a magician, endowing him with super...
