« Entrer en philosophie » : La fonction psychagogique des premiers « Dialogues » d'Augustin représente la première monographie en langue française entièrement consacrée aux « Dialogues » de Cassiciacum, retranscription d'entretiens d'Augustin avec ses familiers à l'automne 386. La « fonction psychagogique » de ces « Dialogues » se manifeste à la fois dans l'élaboration positive d'une connaissance et, d'un point de vue subjectif, dans le cheminement – ponctué de doutes ou de progrès spirituel – des interlocuteurs que nous voyons « entrer en philosophie » (l'expression est d'Augustin lui-même). Plutôt que de séparer l'étude de la « forme » dialogique de celle de l'intention philosophique et heuristique, la monographie a choisi une perspective différente : éclairer dans une perspective organique les relations entre la « facture dialogale » et la « fonction psychagogique », et montrer que ces relations se manifestent à différents niveaux du texte. Les dix chapitres abordent ainsi la scénographie ; les modèles de distribution de la parole, lesquels correspondent à des modèles spécifiques d'accès à la vérité ; les règles des échanges ; l'art de la disputatio ; les marges des entretiens. Les derniers chapitres représentent également une contribution à l'évolution du genre dialogique, de l’Antiquité classique à l’Antiquité tardive.

Racconto di guerra, di politica internazionale, di intrighi, di sofferenze: scritto tra il 1349 e il 1351 dal notaio Domenico di Gravina, il Chronicon è il vivace resoconto di un testimone diretto, anzi di un protagonista degli eventi che sconvolsero l'Italia meridionale tra il 1333 e il 1350. Muovendosi lungo le strade che vanno da Gravina a Barletta, dalla Murgia a Castel del Monte, descrive minuziosamente le zuffe, le battaglie e gli assedi che punteggiarono il conflitto tra la regina di Napoli (o meglio di Sicilia) Giovanna I e suo cognato Luigi d'Ungheria, venuto per vendicare l'assassinio del giovane fratello Andrea (marito di Giovanna) e per conquistare un territorio ricchissimo. Fu una guerra tra due rami della medesima stirpe angioina, ma offrì l'occasione per riassestare le strutture cittadine e aristocratiche del Mezzogiorno.

The Solitary Sphere in the Age of Virgil uses an enriched tripartite model of Roman culture-touching not only the public and the private, but also the solitary-in order to present a radical re-interpretation of Latin literature and of the historical causes of this third sphere's relative invisibility in scholarship. By connecting Cosmos and Imperium to the Individual, the solitary sphere was not so much a way of avoiding politics, as a political education in itself. As re-imagined by literature in this age literature, this sphere was an essential space for the formation of the new Roman citizen of the Augustan revolution, and was behind many of the notable features of the literary revolution of Virgil's age: the expansion of the possibilities of the book of poetry, the birth of the literary cursus, new coordinations of cosmology and politics within strictly organized schemes, the attraction of first-person genres, and the subjective style. Through close readings of Cicero's late works and the oeuvres of Virgil, Horace, and Propertius and the works of other authors in the age of Virgil, The Solitary Sphere thus presents a revelatory reassessment of the classicism of classical Roman literature, and contributes to the study of pre-modern culture more generally, especially for traditions that have taken antiquity as too fixed a point in their own literary, religious, and cultural histories.

Born in 70 BCE, the Roman poet Vergil came of age during a period of literary experimentalism among Latin authors. These authors introduced new Greek verse forms and metres into the existing repertoire of Latin poetic genres and measures, foremost among them being elegy, a genre that the ancients thought originated in funeral lament, but which in classical Rome became first-person poetry about the poet-lover's amatory vicissitudes. Despite the influence of notable elegists on Vergil's early poetry, his critics have rarely paid attention to his engagement with the genre across his body of work.
