In this volume, these disciplines blur, as they did for early moderns, who did not always distinguish between the historical and literary significance of the texts they read and produced. Literature here is broadly conceived to include not only \u003ci\u003ebelles lettres\u003c\/i\u003e, but also other forms of artful writing that flourished in the period, including philosophical writings on dreams and prophecy; life-writing; religious debates; menu descriptions and other food writing; diaries, news reports, ballads, and protest songs; and scientific discussions. The twelve essays in this collection examine the role that the volume’s dedicatee has played in bringing the disciplines of history and literary studies into provocative conversation, as well as the methodology needed to sustain and enrich this conversation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Redreaming the Renaissance: \u003ci\u003eMary Lindemann and Deanna Shemek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Visions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reflections on Reflections: The Pictorial Lessons of Mirrors in Vasari’\u003cbr\u003es Lives 21:\u003ci\u003e Douglas Biow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dream Cultures of the Italian Cinquecento: \u003ci\u003eAlessandro Arcangeli\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bianca e nera: Representations of African Women in Basile’\u003cbr\u003es Teagene and The Tale of Tales: \u003ci\u003eSuzanne Magnanini\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Passions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tales of Marriage, Concubinage, and Prostitution in the Venetian Archives: \u003ci\u003eJoanne Ferraro\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Giovanni’\u003cbr\u003es Story: Sex, Passion, and Identity in Early Modern Italy: \u003ci\u003ePaula Findlen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tullia d’\u003cbr\u003eAragona’\u003cbr\u003es Meschino and Religious Debate in Sixteenth-Century Italy: \u003ci\u003eJulia L.
