Pollastra and the Origins of Twelfth Night: Parthenio, Commedia (1516) with an English TranslationLouise George Clubb presents here the first English translation of Pollastra's long-lost Italian Renaissance comedy Parthenio, to which Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is ultimately traced. Also included are Clubb's theater history chapters from the 1993 publication Romance and Aretine Humanism in Sienese Comedy, augmented with new findings. The supplementary scholarship provided here addresses the relationship of Shakespeare's plays to Italian culture, and the technology of modern theater invented in Renaissance Italy. |
