Lyric Poetry in Venice in the Heterodox Renaissance (1545-1657)

Descrizione del progetto

L’influenza protestante sulla poesia lirica veneziana

Nell’epoca turbolenta della Riforma, Venezia si distinse come Stato cattolico insolitamente aperto alle idee protestanti, nonostante la rigida censura controriformista; questa complessa atmosfera religiosa ha plasmato la cultura della città, e in particolare la sua poesia lirica, dove spesso affiorano sottili accenni al pensiero della Riforma. Sostenuto dal programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, LyrPo studia come le idee protestanti abbiano influenzato la poesia lirica nella Venezia cattolica durante il periodo tridentino e post-tridentino. Attraverso l’analisi di un’ampia raccolta di poesie italiane e latine scritte da diversi autori e autrici, LyrPo esplora i temi della religione, della morale e della politica, mettendo in discussione l’idea secondo cui quest’epoca sarebbe stata interamente definita dalla divisione religiosa e rivelando invece un dialogo culturale ricco di sfumature.

Obiettivo

LyrPo will be the first comprehensive study of the impact of Protestant ideas on lyric poetry produced in Catholic Venice in the Tridentine and Post-Tridentine era. It will explore a significant aspect of the complex relationships between Catholics and Protestants of the time, during a period of censorship and mutual religious condemnation, by analysing an extensive corpus of lyric poems written in both Italian and Latin by a diverse array of women and men authors.
The project will focus on an examination of those Venetian lyric texts that dealt with religion, morality, and politics, while variously expressing heterodox thoughts, which tended not to be overtly heretical (to avoid censorship), yet were subtly influenced by Reformation-inspired ideas.
Protestantism was, indeed, present in Venice in the considered period. From the rise of the Reformation, the Republic of Venice was one of the Catholic states more open to Protestantism. It was also one which remained partially out of step with Counter-Reformation regulations up to the mid-seventeenth century, hence it remained somewhat more receptive to Protestant ideas for longer. Within this context, Reformation-inspired ideas informed and were reflected in literary works too, including lyric poems, which expressed heterodox thoughts in a wide gamut of ways.
Studying what Protestant ideas were received, in which lyric texts, in what language, and by which authors is at the core of my research, which will combine and be built on the methodologies central to Literary, Gender and Reception Studies, and History of Religion and Ideas. In so doing, LyrPo will help to further our understanding of Renaissance literature, as well as the histories of lyric poetry, early-modern European culture, and the Christian Churches. Furthermore, it will challenge the commonly held assumption that the Post-Tridentine era was a homogeneous period during which dialogue between Catholics and Protestants was inhibited.
