Supplementa Humanistica Lovaniensia A New Sense of the Past: The Scholarship of Biondo Flavio (1392–1463)

the scholarship of Biondo Flavio (1392–1463)

2016 || Paperback || Angelo Mazzocco e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven

Reappraisal of the pioneering humanist scholar Biondo Flavio.

During his lifetime the historian and antiquarian Biondo Flavio (1392- 1463) struggled to obtain recognition as a major contributor to the humanistic movement of the fifteenth century. Throughout the Renaissance, fellow Italian scholars far too often condemned rather than endorsed his scholarly works. His troublesome career and mixed reputation among his peers stand in stark contrast with the highly innovative character of his lear...

Kadoc-Studies on Religion, Culture and Society The pious sex

catholic constructions of masculinity and femininity in Belgium, c. 1800-1940

2013 || Paperback || Tine van Osselaer || Universitaire Pers Leuven

The construction of gender in Belgian Catholicism.

Although women were called the 'pious sex' much earlier, it was during the nineteenth century, when the differences between men and women were being made more explicit, that an intense bond between women and religion was developed. Religiosity was thought to be a 'natural' part of femininity and turned religious masculinity into an oddity. This clear-cut gender ideology, however, remains an ideology (prescribed and contested) that needs to be...

The art of arguing in the world of renaissance humanism / druk 1

2013 || Paperback || Marc Laureys e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven

Strategies and characteristics of scournful criticism and fierce debate in the Humanist tradition

Renaissance humanists were often engaged in a wide variety of polemics, ranging from matter-of-fact debate to scathing invective. The programmatic nature of Renaissance humanism, intent on a fundamental reform of language, education, and society at large, led the humanists almost inevitably to conflicts with those who represented other intellectual traditions, first and foremost the Scholastics. ...

(Dis)embodying myths in ancien regime opera

multidisciplinary perspectives

2012 || Paperback || Bruno Forment || Universitaire Pers Leuven

The role of mythology in ancien régime opera

Throughout the Ancien Régime, mythology played a vital role in opera, defining such epoch-making works as Claudio Monteverdi's La favola d'Orfeo (1607) and Christoph Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride (1779). The operatic presence of the Greco-Roman gods and heroes was anything but unambiguous or unproblematic, however. (Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Régime Opera highlights myth's chameleonic life in the Italian dramma per and French tragédie en mu...

Christian Masculinity

men and religion in northern Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries

2011 || Paperback || Yvonne Maria Werner || Universitaire Pers Leuven

In the mid-nineteenth century, when the idea of religion as a private matter connected to the home and the female sphere won acceptance among the bourgeois elite, Christian religious practices began to be associated with femininity and soft values. Contemporary critics claimed that religion was incompatible with true manhood, and today's scholars talk about a feminisation of religion. But was this really the case? What expression did male religious faith take at a time when Christianity was l...
