Reimagining Boethius: Texts, Contexts, and Cultural Afterlives
Editat de Philip Edward Phillips, Kenneth C. Hawley, Anthony G. Cirillaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2027
Drawing on rhetoric, manuscript studies, literary criticism, and intellectual history, the chapters trace the philosopher's evolving legacy through late antiquity, medieval scholasticism, vernacular devotional cultures, and early modern humanism. Contributors situate Boethius as a foundational figure whose works inspired wide-ranging intellectual, theological, and poetic adaptations. Four thematic sections collectively map how Boethian thought has been adopted, transformed, translated, contested, and reimagined by centuries of readers and interpreters.

Recenzii
The editors of Reimagining Boethius: Texts, Contexts, and Cultural Afterlives have revived and assembled an exceptional retrospective collection of essays, revised and updated from their original appearance in the preeminent peer-reviewed journal devoted to Boethian Studies, Carmina Philosophiae. Readers will find a veritable treasure trove of diverse and compelling case studies that examine Boethius's theological and logical texts in late antiquity and early medieval Europe, his literary and philosophical influence on scholasticism and Old and Middle English literature, and his role in the religious tensions of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Christianity. Organized thematically to ensure coherence, clarity, and accessibility to a broader interdisciplinary readership, each of the chapters has been carefully selected based on its originality, sustained scholarly value, and contribution to the evolving understanding of Boethius's corpus and intellectual reception. This is an indispensable volume for anyone interested in the changing fortunes of medieval and early modern literary and cultural history, which continues to bear the stamp of Boethius's abiding and far-reaching influence.
