Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), who died at the stake in 1600, is one of the best known symbols of anti-establishment thought. The theme of this volume, which is offered as a collection of essays to honour distinguished Bruno scholar Hilary Gatti, reflects her constant interest in the principles of cultural freedom and independent thinking. Several essays deal with Bruno himself and his reception. The authors and texts discussed here are linked by a relentless interest in the question of authority and originality, and they range from literary figures such as Alberti (1404-72) and Vasari (1511-74) to controversial philosophers and scientists who, like Bruno, were condemned by the Church, such as Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639). Taken together, these chapters show how much that was new and revolutionary in early modern culture came from its confrontation with the past.

Martin McLaughlin is Agnelli-Serena Professor of Italian at Oxford. Ingrid Rowland is Professor at the School of Architecture, University of Notre Dame. Elisabetta Tarantino taught for several years in Italian Departments across the UK and currently collaborates with the University of Oxford European Humanities Research Centre.
