Sommario/riassunto

In this groundbreaking study, unique in English, Joseph Luzzi considers Italian Romanticism and the modern myth of Italy. Ranging across European and international borders, he examines the metaphors, facts, and fictions about Italy that were born in the Romantic age and continue to haunt the global literary imagination. The themes of the book include the emergence of Italy as the "world's university" (Goethe) and "mother of arts" (Byron), the influence of Dante's Commedia on



Romantic autobiography, and the representation of the Italian body politic as a woman at home and abroad. Luzzi also provides a critical reevaluation of the three crowns of Italian Romantic letters-Ugo Foscolo, Giacomo Leopardi, and Alessandro Manzoni-profoundly influential writers largely undiscovered in Anglo-American criticism. Reaching out to academic and general readers alike, the book offers fresh insights into the influence of Italian literary, cultural, and intellectual traditions on the foreign imagination from the Romantic age to the present.

Sommario/riassunto

In this innovative work, Julia King moves nimbly among a variety of  sources and disciplinary approaches-archaeological, historical,  architectural, literary, and art-historical-to show how places take on,  convey, and maintain meanings. Focusing on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay  region of Maryland, King looks at the ways in which various groups, from  patriots and politicians of the antebellum era to present-day  archaeologists and preservationists, have transformed key landscapes  into historical, indeed sacred, spaces.    The sites King examines include the region's vanishing tob
