The Rise and Fall of the Choral Anthology in Italian Renaissance Lyric
Julia L. Hairston
The choral anthology--also known as the proposta/risposta model, the collective anthology, or answer poetry in the English lyric tradition--proliferated in early sixteenth-century Italy and may have helped spark or fuel the more widespread and popular phenomenon of the lyric anthology. The former is usually associated with a single author although numerous authors contribute to it, whereas the latter is an edited collection in which the voice of no single poet prevails. This paper will discuss the origins of the genre in Bembo, its further development in Tullia d'Aragona, and its later demise.
