Review (...) Taken as a formal aid to confine the period of time and social group the notion 'Republic of Letters' is very helpful to allude to the learned as a main group and actors in all the research papers. The papers (...) reveal, throught example, individuall diverse and highly complex interconnectivities, qualities that would be lost in a mere collection of dataAnjaSilvia Goeing, Studium, Vol 3, No 1 (2010) 4849 Product Description This volume questions the presentday assumption holding the Italian academies to be the model for the European literary and learned society, by juxtaposing them to other types of contemporary literary and learned associations in several Western European countries. From the Back Cover Presentday scholarship holds that the Italian academies were the model for the European literary and learned society. This volume questions the a ~Italian paradigma (TM) and discusses the literary and learned associations in Italy and Spain a ' explicitly called academies a ' as well as others in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The flourishing of these organizations from the fifteenth century onwards coincided chronologically with the growth of performative literary culture, the technological innovation of the printing press, the establishment of early humanist networks, and the growing impact of classical and humanist ideas, concepts, and forms on vernacular culture. One of the questions this volume raises is whether and how these societies related to these developments and to the world of Learning and the Republic of Letters.
