Filling a gap in the study of early modern literature, Massimiliano Morini here exhaustively examines the aims, strategies, practice and theoretical ideas of the sixteenth-century translator. Morini analyzes early modern English translations of works by French and Italian essayists and poets, including Montaigne, Castiglione, Ariosto and Tasso, and of works by classical writers such as Virgil and Petrarch.

A Day in the News is the linguistic description of a single day in the life of the British press - Wednesday, 19 August 2015. Employing a variety of tools and methods - from multimodality to pragmatics, from close reading to computational stylistics - Morini looks at nine different "journalistic worlds" and their respective "Newsspeaks". The results are often revealing: by providing its readers with an accurate idea of the universe projected by each paper, this study revises many received ideas on the clear-cut boundaries separating "popular" from "highbrow" journalism. In the process, A...
