Iacopo Sannazaro and the Creation of a Poetic Canon in Early Modern England

This article investigates the circulation and fame of Sannazaro\u2019s Arcadia in early modern England, focusing first on Philip Sidney\u2019s reception of the poem as part of an ongoing pastoral tradition. Sannazaro\u2019s work thus contributed to create a new poetic context and decisively influenced Sidney\u2019s own Arcadia. Significantly enough, after Sidney\u2019s death the name of Sannazaro seems to suffer a deliberate act of ostracism (he does not appear in the works of Sidneian followers and commentators) as if Sidney\u2019s scribal community preferred to exalt the name of their friend and patron by marginalizing one of Sidney\u2019s sources

Selected recollections of my relationship with Leo Breiman

During the period 1962--1964, I had a tenure track Assistant Professorship in Mathematics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where I did research in probability theory, especially on linear diffusion processes. Being somewhat lonely there and not liking the cold winter weather, I decided around the beginning of 1964 to try to get a job in the Mathematics Department at UCLA, in the city in which I was born and raised. At that time, Leo Breiman was an Associate Professor in that department. Presumably, he liked my research on linear diffusion processes and other research as well, since the department offered me a tenure track Assistant Professorship, which I happily accepted. During the Summer of 1965, I worked on various projects with Sidney Port, then at RAND Corporation, especially on random walks and related material. I was promoted to Associate Professor, effective in Fall, 1966, presumably thanks in part to Leo. Early in 1966, I~was surprised to be asked by Leo to participate in a department meeting called to discuss the possible hiring of Sidney. The conclusion was that Sidney was hired as Associate Professor in the department, as of Fall, 1966. Leo communicated to me his view that he thought that Sidney and I worked well together, which is why he had urged the department to hire Sidney. Anyhow, Sidney and I had a very fruitful and enjoyable collaboration in probability and, to a much lesser extent, in theoretical statistics, for a number of years thereafter.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/10-AOAS431 the Annals of Applied Statistics (http://www.imstat.org/aoas/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org
