This collection of eight papers comes from a pair of workshops held at the Center for the Study of Italian History & Culture of Georgetown U., Fiesole, Italy, that explored the relationship between Catholicism and interpretive canons of history and specifically focused on the emergence of the concept of "decadence" during the age of the counter-reformation and the link between Catholicism and "anti-modernity" as expressed in literature, historiography, and political and philosophical thought in North America and Europe. Three of the papers are in Italian and the rest are in English. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
