The Reception of Byron in Europe
Richard Cardwell was given the Elma Dangerfield Award of the International Byron Society for the best book on Byron in 2005-06 Byron, arguably, was and remains the most famous and infamous English poet in the modern period in Continental Europe. From Portugal in the West to Russia in the East, from Scandinavia in the North to Spain in the South he inspired and provoked, was adored and reviled, inspired notions of freedom in subject lands and, with it, the growth of national idealisms which, soon, would re-draw the map of Europe.

Santa Maria degli Angeli: un monastero camaldolese “dimenticato” nel centro di Firenze
Il tema di questa pubblicazione è il monastero camaldolese di Santa Maria degli Angeli, situato nel centro storico di Firenze, in un’area compresa tra via degli Alfani, via del Castellaccio e piazza Brunelleschi. Lo studio del complesso religioso, fondato nel 1295, è stato affrontato con il duplice scopo di ricostruirne le vicende storico-architettoniche degli ultimi quattro secoli e individuare le ragioni del frazionamento successivo alla sua soppressione del 1866. Dalla divisione tra diverse proprietà è derivata l’attuale perdita di leggibilità architettonica del cenobio camaldolese, al punto da rendere quasi “dimenticato” non solo dai cittadini, ma anche da parte della storiografia, uno dei centri religiosi e culturali più importanti del Tre-Quattrocento fiorentino.
