Singing to the Lyre in Renaissance Italy: Memory, Performance, and Oral Poetry
Wilson, Blake (Dickinson College, Pennsylvania)
Vernacular poetry in Renaissance Italy was typically created and disseminated by improvising singer-poets. This is the first comprehensive study of cantare ad lyram (singing to the lyre), the dominant form of solo singing in Italy prior to the mid-sixteenth century, and of the related oral practices of memory and improvisation.
