SUMMARY:Reading New Books in the Humanities by Penn State Faculty
DESCRIPTION:\nDiscussant: Garrett Sullivan\, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor
	 of English\n\nPhileto's Story (c. 1520) is a love tale that starts in R
	enaissance Verona and then moves across the entire Mediterranean basin. 
	It describes a young man's fascination with the beautiful Euphrosyne\, h
	is forceful seduction of her\, how his lust soon turns to love\, and how
	 that love leads to conflict\, death\, and banishment. As he travels aro
	und the Mediterranean in search of safety\, Phileto faces the dangers of
	 shipwreck\, negotiates with other cultures\, survives the perils of dan
	gerous missions\, benefits from the strength of friendships\, suffers th
	e pain of homesickness\, and copes with the tragic suicide of a female f
	riend before he can finally return to Verona and reunite with his belove
	d Euphrosyne. In this coming-of-age story we see Phileto eschew inept ro
	manticism (unlike young Romeo in Shakespeare's play) and adopt a pragmat
	ic Machiavellian approach to bring about his desired ends.\n\nLiberal Ar
	ts Professor of Italian specializing in medieval/renaissance and early m
	odern Italian literature and culture\, Sherry Roush is the author of Spe
	aking Spirits: Ventriloquizing the Dead in Renaissance Italy (University
	 of Toronto Press\, 2015) and Hermes’ Lyre: Italian Poetic Self-Commenta
	ry from Dante to Tommaso Campanella (University of Toronto Press\, 2002)
	. In addition to Phileto’s Story (Centre for Renaissance and Reformation
	 Studies “Texts in Translation\,” 2024)\, she has edited and translated 
	Jacopo Caviceo’s Peregrino (University of Toronto Press\, 2023)\, which 
	was awarded a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts grant in Literary Tra
	nslation and a 2020 National Endowment for the Humanities Faculty Resear
	ch fellowship. She also translated and edited the Selected Philosophical
	 Poems of Tommaso Campanella in two volumes (The University of Chicago P
	ress and Fabrizio Serra Editore\, both 2011) and co-edited (with Cristel
	le Baskins) The Medieval Marriage Scene: Prudence\, Passion\, Policy (Ar
	izona State University Press\, 2005).\n\nFor more details: https://event
