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.Italian literatureHistory and criticismComparative literatureItalian and EuropeanComparative literatureEuropean and ItalianEuropean literature18th centuryItalian influencesEuropean literature19th centuryItalian influencesItalyCivilizationElectronic books.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Comparative literatureItalian and European.Comparative literatureEuropean and Italian.European literatureItalian influences.European literatureItalian influences.809/.894Luzzi Joseph521598MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456863503321Romantic Europe and the ghost of Italy18864UNINA
