Il diavolo è un asino, Traduzione, introduzione e note di Daniela Francesca Virdis, Prefazione di Filippo Grazzini, Ristampa anastatica a fronte (“Anglia”, volume no. 4, General Editor A. Graziano)
No full textFaccendieri, carrieristi, finanzieri cinici, cortigiani malfidati e, se non bastasse, negromanti, esperti di stregoneria, falsi indemoniati ... Nella city comedy Il diavolo è un asino (The Devil Is an Ass) Ben Jonson rappresenta con talento grottesco l'inganno, il raggiro, l'avidità di beni promossi a legge universale nello spazio-tempo eccezionale della Londra giacomiana. Allo stesso modo, la satirica penna del drammaturgo fustigatore dei costumi cittadini anima leggiadri episodi amorosi derivati dal Decameron di Boccaccio: anche per questo era tempo che l’amabile Devil jonsoniano, scritto nel 1616, fosse presentato in traduzione italiana
Comparing men and times : the classical sources and the political significance of Ben Jonson's "Sejanus" and "Catiline" in early Jacobean and Restoration England
No full textThe primary objective of this thesis is to examine the interaction between drama and
politics in Ben Jonson's two surviving tragedies, Sejanus and Catiline, during the
early years of the Jacobean and Restoration periods. Jonson relied heavily on
classical scholarship in writing his two extant tragedies, his stated reason being to
convince the readers of their "truth of Argument". But Jonson, nevertheless,
adapted his sources in an ingenious way that both suited his dramatic purposes and
served to cast light on social and political realities in the England of his own day.
For Jonson, as for many Renaissance historians, the past had meaning primarily
because of its valuable lessons for the present and the future. Thus, one of my aims
is to examine both the nature and the extent of Jonson's dependenceo n the classical
sources which provided him with the historical stories and details that he dramatized
in the two plays. SuccessiveE nglish governmentsi n the seventeenthc entury treated
drama, especially that based on historical material, as a potentially dangerous
medium for disseminating propaganda and for influencing public opinion against
specific government policies. Therefore, part of this work will be devoted to
discussing censorship regulations within early Jacobean and Restoration England,
and to examining their effects both on Jonson and on the reception of his two
tragedies. Each of the two plays is studied in the context of its historical sources in
order to determine Jonson's method of adapting his sources as well as the extent of
topicality that each play seems to provide, both on the Jacobean and the Restoration
stage. The method adopted in this study is to place the two Roman tragedies within
the contemporary setting for which they were originally intended and then within
the context of the early Restoration period when the two plays are thought to have
been revived
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
