Camilletti; Review fills a gap in studies on European Romanticism and nineteenth-century literary history ... Camilletti has made a substantial contribution to studies in the field, one which is bound to incite further research in areas of related interest. The BARS Review Camilletti puts into dialogue the sources about the literary quarrels of that time with the thought of Hartog, Bejnamin, and Warburg, so to question the notion itself of "querelle". (Translated from Italian) Rassegna della Letteratura italiana This is a book that opens radically new perspectives on Italian Romanticism, where the fractures that will resonate through the conflicting cultures of modern Italy first begin to take shape. With at its heart the most original contribution to the Romantic debate in Italy, Giacomo Leopardis Discourse of an Italian on Romantic Poetry, Camillettis study provides both a new assessment of Leopardis writing in its historical context and a nuanced account of the cultural trauma that characterized the early years of the Restoration, between 1815 and 1827.

Description for Reader Comparative Literature, Romanticism, Cultural Studies and Critical Theory Description for Bookstore In 1816 a violent literary quarrel engulfed Bourbon Restoration Italy. On one side the Romantics wanted an opening up of Italian culture towards Europe, and on the other the Classicists favoured an inward-looking Italy, based on its Greco-Roman roots. Giacomo Leopardi (17981837), a young poet and philosopher, wrote a Discourse of an Italian on Romantic Poetry [1818], aiming to contribute to the debate from a new perspective. This study provides the first complete English translation of the Discourse , which was finally published in 1906. It is placed in context and its potential impact on contemporary Restoration Italy is assessed. Camilletti argues that the Classicist/Romanticist clash can be seen as the aftermath of the political, social and cultural trauma caused by the Napoleonic Wars. Details ISBN1848932871 Author Fabio A.
