Author Information

James Calum O’Neill is a literary and art historian specialising in Italian medieval and Renaissance literature, fine art and architecture. His PhD was conducted at Durham University on ‘Self-Transformation in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’ which is now published by Routledge under the title The Allegory of Love in the Early Renaissance: Francesco Colonna’s Hypnerotomachia Poliphili and its European Context. Currently, O'Neill's research focuses on botanical, architectural, antiquarian and narratological analysis in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili as a locus for the convergence of philosophic, elegiac, antiquarian and medical traditions, pertaining to both medieval and humanist cultures, with a focus on northern Italian and Venetian society during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
