In their works, Italy is a cultural geography so heavily overwritten with discourse that it becomes the natural recipient of further fictional transformations. If critics have frequently attended to this figurative complex and its related Italophilia, what seems to have been left relatively unexplored is the fact that these representations were paralleled and sustained by intense scholarly activities. This volume specifically addresses Romantic-period scholarship about Italian literature, history, and culture under the interconnected rubrics of 'translating', 'reviewing', and 'rewriting'. The essays in this book consider this rich field of scholarly activity in order to redraw its contours and examine its connections with the fictional images of Italy and the general fascination with this land and its civilization that are a crucial component of British culture between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. 410 0$aInternationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;$v92. 517 3 $aTranslating, Reviewing, Rewriting 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$zItalian influences 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature 615 0$aRomanticism 676 $a820.9/145 702 $aSaglia$b Diego 702 $aBandiera$b Laura 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806235503321 996 $aBritish Romanticism and Italian Literature$93982335 997 $aUNINA
