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. 606 $aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature$xItalian and European 606 $aComparative literature$xEuropean and Italian 606 $aEuropean literature$y18th century$xItalian influences 606 $aEuropean literature$y19th century$xItalian influences 607 $aItaly$xCivilization 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature$xItalian and European. 615 0$aComparative literature$xEuropean and Italian. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xItalian influences. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xItalian influences. 676 $a809/.894 700 $aLuzzi$b Joseph$0521598 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821098103321 996 $aRomantic Europe and the ghost of Italy$918864 997 $aUNINA
