The Italian London of John North: Cultural contact and linguistic encounter in early modern England
Get PDFThis article takes as its subject the remarkable diary kept by a young English gentleman named John North from 1575 to 1579. On his journey home from Italy in 1575 -77, North changed the language of his diary from English to Italian. On his return to London, he continued to keep a record of his everyday life in Italian.
