Books by Ivan Lupić
Subjects of Advice begins by considering the figure of Thomas More, whose influential argument about counsel as a form of performance in Utopia set the agenda for the entire century. Resisting linear narratives and recovering, instead, the simultaneity of radically different kinds of dramatic experience, the book shows the vitality of later dramatic engagements with More’s legacy through an analysis of the moral interlude staged within Sir Thomas More, a play possibly co-authored by Shakespeare. More also helps explain the complex use of counsel in Senecan drama, from the neo-Latin plays of George Buchanan, discussed in connection with Buchanan’s political writings, to the historical tragedies of the mid-sixteenth century.
If tyranny and exemplarity are the keywords for early Elizabethan drama of counsel, for the plays of Christopher Marlowe it is friendship. Lupić considers Marlowe’s interest in friendship and counsel, most notably in Edward II, alongside earlier dramatic treatments, thus exposing the pervasive fantasy of the ideal counselor as another self. Subjects of Advice concludes by placing King Lear in relation to its dramatic sources to demonstrate Shakespeare’s deliberate dispersal of counsel throughout his play. Counsel’s customary link to plain and fearless speech becomes in Shakespeare’s hands a powerful instrument of poetic and dramatic expression.

tradition. The special interest of the letters is the fact that they are partly written in Croatian, which makes them stand out as extremely rare witnesses of local vernacular conversations focused on Ragusan manuscripts before the nineteenth century.
medieval manuscript book of hours that has so far been known only from its casual mention in 1829 by a Polish scholar visiting Ragusa. By connecting and combining different kinds of evidence--from the letters of a Russian ambassador, the publications of a nineteenth-century Slovak philologist, and the stories of an Italian priest--the essay constitutes at once an act of historical recovery and a philological intervention. It shows that the long-term invisibility of this manuscript was due to the fact that it is a composite manuscript and that its second part cannot date before the end of the fifteenth century, whereas the first part was written earlier. The prayerbook is considered within the tradition of similar manuscript documents circulating in medieval and early modern Ragusa.
