Of central interest are the book's discussions of nobility and love as these two themes evolve and change as Leopardi acquired a more general and universal conception of life. The fascinating admixture in his work of classical and modern perspectives on life and literature is highlighted throughout the book. 410 0$aFairleigh Dickinson University Press series in Italian studies. 606 $aItalian poetry$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a851/.7 700 $aRosengarten$b Frank$f1927-$0210570 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461689703321 996 $aGiacomo Leopardi's search for a common life through poetry$92037520 997 $aUNINA
