After the fascinating liquid novel, Benedetta in Guysterland, which won the American Book Award in 1994, Giose Rimanelli now presents us a new novel about academic life. Accademia deals with the day-to-day angst in a major American university. Stories of love relationships among nymphets wives and student lovers (hetero/homosexual) unfold amid the struggles for personal power in the realm of higher education. Accademia is the book of one who has experienced life at its deepest levels, the book of a moralist. Giose Rimanelli gained international fame with some of his novels during the 1950s, translated from the Italian in many languages and also made into movies and radio plays. He has lived in both the U.S.A. and Canada and has taught in major universities.
The Accademia Pontaniana: A Model of a Humanist Network is an exploration of the vast intellectual networks which developed around the fifteenth century humanist Pontano. It includes the densely knit network which emerged in Naples, the Accademia Pontaniana, as well as the loosely knit networks which developed between the members of this academy and other humanists and academies outside of Naples. Shulamit Furstenberg-Levi points to the links between the Accademia Pontaniana and other sodalities in Southern Italy, and to the lineage between fifteenth century informal academies and sixteenth century institutional Academies. In this study recent sociological theory is applied to understand Renaissance academies and the vertical and horizontal links between them.
