Oak-Leaf Jars: A Fifteenth Century Italian Ware Showing Moresco Influence is a book written by Henry Wallis and published in 1903. The book focuses on a specific type of Italian pottery that was produced during the fifteenth century and was influenced by the Moresco culture. The pottery is characterized by its distinctive oak-leaf pattern, which is intricately painted onto the surface of the jars. Wallis provides a detailed analysis of the history and production of these jars, as well as their cultural significance. He examines the techniques used by the Italian potters to create the oak-leaf pattern, and the ways in which this pattern was adapted to suit different shapes and sizes of jars. He also explores the influence of the Moresco culture on the production of these jars, and the ways in which this influence can be seen in the design and decoration of the pottery. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs of the oak-leaf jars, as well as detailed descriptions of their physical characteristics. Wallis also provides information on the provenance of the jars, and the ways in which they have been collected and studied over the years. Overall, Oak-Leaf Jars: A Fifteenth Century Italian Ware Showing Moresco Influence is a comprehensive and informative study of a unique and important type of Italian pottery. It will be of interest to scholars of art history, archaeology, and Italian culture, as well as to anyone with an interest in the history of pottery and decorative arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Oxford Handbook of Italian Literature
Italian literature is among the most ancient and influential Western literatures. With its classics spanning from the Middle Ages to our contemporaneity, the impact of Italian literature worldwide has been and still is enormous - think of the influence of Dante in shaping Holocaust narratives and that of Italo Calvino on postmodern fiction. Italian literature remains a subject of enduring interest for academics, students, and general audiences. After the long and still resisting season of nationalisms, the time is ripe to rethink Italian literature against the background of a more and more globalized world. <p/><em>The Oxford Handbook of Italian Literature</em> considers the development, status, and significance of Italian Literature in this globalized context. Organized into four parts (Institutions&#x3b; Production&#x3b; Controversies&#x3b; and Icons), this Handbook approaches Italian literature across its historical span through a variety of perspectives and methodologies, including nationalism, internationalism, and transnationalism, culture, gender and ethnic studies, and ecocriticism, with constant and careful attention to the forms and contents of literary practices and discourses. This Handbook offers the most comprehensive survey of Italian literature to date, ranging broadly from Dante's times to the contemporary world bestselling phenomenon of Elena Ferrante. Italian literature emerges as a case in point for reorientating literary studies towards the experimentation of difference, permeability, and integration. <p/>Bringing together distinguished scholars of Italian literature from major world universities, including the US, UK, Italy, France, Ireland, Canada, and Germany, these 54 chapters unsettle and reshape the field of Italian literature. This Handbook aims to inspire scholars and writers in Italian Studies to explore innovative conceptual frameworks and facilitate a comparative dialogue with scholars of other literary traditions around the world: an especially vital goal in our increasingly interconnected world.
