Milton, the sublime and dramas of choice

Milton, the Sublime and Dramas of Choice challenges readers and scholars to rethink Milton’s relationship to the sublime in terms of ethics. The book demonstrates that Milton’s sublimity merges the early modern reception of Longinus with classical, medieval, and Renaissance categories of magnanimity, wonder, and inspiration to investigate the relations between human and divine agency. Under the influence of early modern models of sublimity, including Spenser and Shakespeare, Milton speaks through his fictional characters about the making of heroic and literary virtue. In turn, the work also sheds light on the importance of tragedy as an additional source to the formation of the Renaissan...

Metairie

While New Orleans is recognized the world over for the French Quarter and Mardi Gras, Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, is not as well known. However, Metairie does have a rich history all its own. What was once described two centuries ago as "a tongue of land to lend pasturage" has become the second largest unincorporated city in the nation. The explorer La Salle noticed the river bend that is now Metairie when he descended and ascended the Mississippi River in the Spring of 1682. Almost simultaneously with the founding of New Orleans in 1718, John Law's Company of the West began granting land to European investors and to a handful of Canadians struggling to survive along the Gulf Coast. The settlers helped feed the city, provided it with critical building materials, and enhanced its value as a port. As with many colonial frontiers throughout the history of the world, missionaries stood in the vanguard of Metairie's evolution. French and Spanish friars, then European priests, and finally native clergy provided leadership and stability as a progressive community began to emerge from the marsh and swamp.

Towards 1968

Si può parlare di un «Sessantotto cattolico»? E se è esistito, è stato solo una componente della contestazione giovanile, irrilevante e risucchiata dall’attrazione a sinistra, oppure si è trattato di un fenomeno consistente, caratterizzato da dinamiche specifiche e ramificato a livello europeo, se non su scala globale? Quali ne sono i riferimenti culturali, le reti di collegamento, i momenti e i luoghi in cui si è sviluppata una riflessione comune? Esiste davvero, insomma, una sorta di filo rosso che unisce gli studenti della JEC parigina e gli universitari cattolici che a Madrid scendono in piazza contro Franco, le avanguardie cattoliche della contestazione belga e gli studenti ita...

La Santa Sede e l’emigrazione italiana all’estero tra otto e novecento

Sulla scorta di una pluralità di fonti archivistiche e a stampa, l’autore approfondisce il ruolo esercitato dalla Santa Sede in materia di assistenza e cura pastorale dell’emigrazione italiana all’estero nel periodo che, dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento, giunge fino al Concilio Ecumenico Vaticano II e alla stagione postconciliare. L’autore documenta come, almeno fino alla seconda metà degli anni Ottanta dell’Ottocento, gli interventi promossi dalla Chiesa italiana per la tutela degli emigranti furono assai limitati e rivestirono, nel complesso, un carattere episodico e marginale. La situazione mutò sensibilmente nel corso dei pontificati di Leone XIII e di Pio X. Quest’ult...

La libertà religiosa in Messico

A più di cento anni dalla promulgazione della costituzione di Querétaro (5 febbraio 1917), considerata una delle più anticlericali di tutto il Novecento, l’ostilità verso la libertà delle fedi religiose di agire come tali nello spazio pubblico continua a rappresentare un tratto distintivo della società messicana, nonostante le riforme costituzionali che nel 1992 e nel 2013 hanno cercato di adeguare la disciplina interna del diritto di libertà religiosa agli standard riconosciuti a livello internazionale. Ancora oggi il Messico, come ai tempi della guerra cristera del 1926-1929, è uno dei luoghi più pericolosi al mondo dove esercitare il ministero sacerdotale, in particolare nelle ...

‘An impure Joan of Arc’ or ‘a radiant Penthesilea’—Theroigne de Mericourt remains one of the most misrepresented figures of the French revolution. Theroigne loved the Revolution; she refused the roles prescribed by her sex; and, at the age of thirty-one, she lost her reason. From these three facts, historians have woven tenacious myths about women, madness and revolution which reveal more about their own phantasms and allegiances than about Theroigne herself. Elisabeth Roudinesco’s exploration of Theroigne’s life and afterlife restores a much-wronged woman to her rightful place in history. After vividly tracing Theroigne’s life, Roudinesco applies psychoanalysis to history, and history to psychiatry. She analyses the founding fathers of the asylum and the historians of the French Revolution, using their own assessments of Theroigne as revealing evidence. Her book adds a new dimension to our understanding of the French Revolution, early feminism and the birth of the modern asylum.
