Teaching the Italian Renaissance Romance Epic
The Italian romance epic of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, with its multitude of characters, complex plots, and roots in medieval Carolingian epic and Arthurian chivalric romance, was a form popular with courtly and urban audiences. In the hands of writers such as Boiardo, Ariosto, and Tasso, works of remarkable sophistication that combined high seriousness and low comedy were created. Their works went on to influence Cervantes, Milton, Ronsard, Shakespeare, and Spenser. In this volume instructors will find ideas for teaching the Italian Renaissance romance epic along with its adaptations in film, theater, visual art, and music. An extensive resources section locates primary texts online and lists critical studies, anthologies, and reference works.

Hanno ucciso mio padre, e io ho rapito la loro figlia… È mia prigioniera, una piccola ballerina che danza solo per me. Nessa è dolce e innocente. Non si merita affatto tutto questo.

Abbiamo iniziato col piede sbagliato quando ho appiccato un (piccolissimo) incendio in casa sua. Le nostre famiglie pensano che un matrimonio combinato sia l’unica cosa che possa evitare una guerra senza esclusione di colpi. Quanto a me, penso che magari potrei ucciderlo mentre dorme. Sarebbe molto più semplice se Callum non fosse tremendamente attraente. Tuttavia, il mio cuore è chiuso in cassaforte. Perché, anche se mi costringono a sposarlo… non potrò mai amare un principe crudele. * * * Principe crudele è il primo esplosivo atto dell’epica serie Eredi brutali.

Italo-Romance Dialects in the Linguistic Repertoires of Immigrants in Italy
This edited book brings together experts on the sociolinguistics of immigration with a focus on the Italo-Romance dialects. Sociolinguistic research on immigrant communities in Italy has widely studied the acquisition and use of Italian as L2 by first-generation immigrants, the maintenance of immigrant languages and code-switching between Italian and the immigrant languages. However, these studies have mostly ignored or neglected to investigate immigrant speakers’ use of Italo-Romance dialects, their awareness of the sociolinguistic situation of majority and minority languages, and their attitudes towards them. Given the important role of Italo-Romance dialects in everyday communication and as a marker of regional identity, this book aims to fill this gap and understand more about the role that these languages play in the linguistic repertoire of immigrants. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, minority languages, multilingualism, migration, and social anthropology.
