  • Transformations in Landscape Circa 1800. Landscapes of the Bard, of the Promeneur Solitaire, & of the Pater Familias
    Transformations in landscape circa 1800. Landscapes of the bard, of the promeneur solitaire, & of the pater familias John Dixon Hunt 1. Around the year 1800 the world of European landscape taste was at an excit- ing moment of renewal and change; but it also found itself confronted with somewhat conflicting opportunities, particularly as a taste for wider (and often wilder) landscapes manifested itself in landscape architectural designs. The swift growth of naturalistic or irregular gardening during the later 18th century had effectively challenged and in many places eclipsed the old, autocratic and aris- tocratic forms of geometry and architectural garden layouts. Yet the umbrella of the «giardino inglese» sheltered a great variety of forms and effects, assump- tions and receptions. The term was challenged nowhere more energetically than in Italy, where – as elsewhere in Europe – the ‘English’ landscape garden was re- quired to adapt itself to different topographical and cultural conditions. In its accommodation and reworking in what is now northern Italy, a group of garden- ists (Horace Walpole’s useful coinage), among whom were Melchiorre Cesarotti, Luigi Mabil, Ippolito Pindemonte, Vincenzo Malacarne, and Ercole Silva, led dis- cussions as to the scope and characters of the new garden mode, its relationship to the larger landscapes beyond the garden, and its adaptation for new public gardens like those of Venice. The new landscaping that came into prominence during the 18th century gen- erally premised its designs on an appeal to the ‘natural’; yet this ‘nature’ consisted of a variety of landscape experiences outside the circuit of an estate, or park or transformations in landscape circa 1800.

  • I Precedenti Dei Sepolcri Foscoliani

ASPETTI STORICO-GIURIDICI: IL TEMA DELLA SEPOLTURA NEL CORSO DEI SECOLI. L’obiettivo del mio lavoro è di riordinare sotto un denominatore comune la poesia sepolcrale di alcune delle moderne letterature, comprendendovi le parti del genere detto contemplativo, che furono anche ispirate dai cimiteri. Tale poesia sarebbe da studiare nelle letterature: inglese, francese, tedesca, italiana e spagnola, dove fu manifestazione di un pensiero già adulto e di profonda cultura. Gioverebbe intendere tutte le più belle voci, che sono come l’eco della musa che siede sui sepolcri, e ciascuna delle quali è interprete di un’alta coscienza personale, e talvolta anche della coscienza nazionale. Nei paesi dove la fede religiosa fu rinnovata dalla Riforma, la poesia sepolcrale è più abbondante e più fervida che in quelli in cui languì la fede antica. Inghilterra, Francia, Italia ma anche Spagna dove, seppur in modo diverso, la poesia sepolcrale ebbe un forte riscontro, sono i paesi che, con le rispettive letterature, prenderò in esame per sviluppare il mio lavoro di ricerca. Tra coloro che rifletterono sulla nullità d’ogni cosa umana e coloro che meditarono invece sugli ottimi effetti che i monumenti sepolcrali hanno sui vivi, rilevanti sono i seguenti - 2 - INTRODUZIONE versi di Jacques Delille che scrisse uno dei più alti esempi di poesia sepolcrale europea: Aucun ne se méprend, chacun connaît la pierre Où tout ce qu’il aima repose sur la terre [...]1.

  • Milan, October 11Th-November 3Rd 1816
    222 Milan, October 11th-November 3rd 1816 Milan October 11th-November 3rd 1816 Edited from B.L.Add.Mss. 56537 Their twenty-three days in Milan are formative for Byron and Hobhouse in a number of ways. Firstly, they meet nearly every man of literary note in North Italy – exceptions being the absent Ugo Foscolo, and Alessandro Manzoni; secondly, they find themselves – Hobhouse especially – taken seriously as political writers in a way to which they’re unused; thirdly, they come to know at first hand what it’s like for intellectuals to live under a whole-heartedly totalitarian regime, as opposed to a half-hearted one of the kind they know in England. Byron’s interest in the Italian struggle for freedom, expressed the following year in Childe Harold IV, and in his Carbonari activities at Ravenna in the years following, surely has its roots in these three weeks. Hobhouse’s admiration for the classical learning displayed by common Italian people at puppet-shows is offset by what he learns about their capacity to be led into mindless mob violence (see October 26 for both these things) and help lay the foundations of his future qualified Westminster radicalism. His need above all is to work out how Italy’s freedom came to be mislaid for her at the Congress of Vienna. The description, on October 25, of the evening spent watching the improvvisatore Sgricci, is one of his droll masterpieces: but Stendhal’s (Henri Beyle’s) anecdotes, on October 23 and 28, of the Russian campaign and the retreat from Moscow, have some memorable details too.

  • Intorno Ai Versi Di Ippolito Pindemonte Per Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi Gilberto Pizzamiglio Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
    La detection della critica Studi in onore di Ilaria Crotti a cura di Ricciarda Ricorda e Alberto Zava Intorno ai versi di Ippolito Pindemonte per Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi Gilberto Pizzamiglio Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia Abstract Included in the years between the 1787 and the 1800, the six poems in verse by Ippolito Pindemonte dedicated to Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi, which have come down to us in various ways, are first configured in a couple of sonnets in which we find a neo- classical homage to the beauty of the dedicatee, to the sharp and penetrating brilliance of her eyes, and then in three other compositions that exalt in idyllic terms the soothing pleasure of walking in the park of her villa. Finally, a more demanding, complex epistle in verse in which the 1800 disastrous war events in northern Italy echo, as well as the theme of the search for peace in the rural dimension. Keywords Italian literature. 18th century. Ippolito Pindemonte. Isabella Teotochi Al- brizzi. Poetic homages. Se le lettere di Ippolito Pindemonte a Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi che ebbi l’oc- casione di pubblicare vent’anni fa (cf. Pindemonte 2000) forniscono un ampio ‘ritratto’ dei rapporti intercorsi fra il letterato veronese e la nobildonna vene- ziana – anch’essa letterata – qualche ulteriore lettura integrativa meritano i componimenti da lui esplicitamente indirizzatile, e in particolare quell’epi- stola in versi sciolti posta in apertura al volumetto di Epistole in versi di Ip- polito Pindemonte veronese, dato alle stampe nel 1807.1 1 Verona: presso Pietro Bisesti. Nell’anonima introduzione, subito dopo le scuse per eventua- li errori di stampa rispetto al manoscritto si dice: «Composte in diversi tempi, si allude in alcu- ne di esse alla condizion di que’ tempi, in cui furon composte.

  • Italian Writers and Romantic-Period Anthologies of Italian Literature in Britain
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano William Spaggiari (Università di Parma) The Canon of the Classics: Italian Writers and Romantic-Period Anthologies of Italian Literature in Britain During the Romantic period, the experience of exile in England decisively influenced the flourishing of anthol- ogies of Italian literature that could represent both a link with the homeland and a form of consolation for the difficulties of cultural and linguistic isolation. The first modern instance of a chrestomathy of Italian literature published in England dated back to Giuseppe Baretti’s Italian Library (1757), a selection based on such discrimi- nating factors as the correctness of the Tuscan language, the preponderance of poetry, a limited selection of texts from the early ages, and reservations about seventeenth-century literature. These criteria inspired and directed most eighteenth-century and Romantic-period selections of Italian literature until, in 1828, Antonio Panizzi, professor of Italian at London University, published an anthology of Italian prose writers. After 70 years, the supremacy of verse decreed by Baretti was overthrown. And, against the emphatic pronouncements of other exiles, Panizzi’s choices reveal an unmistakably and concretely useful way of understanding tradition and present- ing its landmarks to the readers of his adoptive country. The conspicuous presence in Britain of Italian political exiles, from such areas as Lom- bardy, the Veneto and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, was one of the decisive influences on the burgeoning of collections of Italian literary texts in the Romantic period.

  • In Sì Periglioso Aringo»: Giovanni Ghinassi Traduce L’ Elegy Di Thomas Gray
    ANDREA FABBRI <[email protected]> «IN SÌ PERIGLIOSO ARINGO»: GIOVANNI GHINASSI TRADUCE L’ ELEGY DI THOMAS GRAY ABSTRACT In this study, Andrea Fabbri discusses a lesser-known but important translation of the Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard by 19 th -century Italian scholar Giovanni Ghinassi. It was written in terza rima , a sequence of tercets linked by end-rhymes patterned aba, bcb, cdc, ded, etc. (also used by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy ), and consists of 190 lines, while Gray wrote his poem in 32 quatrains, a total of 128 lines. Thus, two tercets in the translation correspond to a quatrain of the Elegy , granting Ghinassi enough room to express himself in Italian, which by its nature is less concise than English. The translation is almost as rich as the original in sound patterns (alliteration, rhyme, assonance, etc.) and very close to it content- wise, thanks to Ghinassi’s good knowledge of written English. It also has frequent references (quotations or reminiscences) to the Italian poetic tradition, especially Dante and Tasso. These qualities make it a better achievement than the well-known translations by Cesarotti and Torelli, which Ghinassi knew and criticized severely, the former for resorting to dull unrhymed verse, the latter for being in quatrains, a “Procrustean bed” for Italian translators of English poetry. 1. Giovanni Ghinassi traduttore Annoverato tra i più alti rappresentanti della cosiddetta ‘Scuola Classica Romagnola’ 1, etichetta sotto la quale si è soliti oggi riunire eruditi filologi, eleganti verseggiatori e raffinati traduttori dalle lingue classiche operanti appunto in Romagna durante buona parte dell’Ottocento, il letterato faentino Giovanni Ghinassi nacque a Faenza nel 1809.

  • Bassi Tragedies in Italy OUP.Pdf
    OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Wed May 18 2016, NEWGEN Chapter 42 The Tragedies in Italy Shaul Bassi We begin with a conversation between two actors, the older Gustavo Modena (1803‒61) reminiscing with the younger Ernesto Rossi (1827‒96) about his early Shakespearean ex- ploit in Milan in 1842: He took up the manuscript of Othello, turned over a few pages and pointed to the frst scene. ‘From here to here.’ ‘I don’t understand. Was someone taken ill? Was it necessary to abandon the performance?’ ‘Yes, the public was taken ill and we had to let down the curtain: here is the story. I was anxious to give the public something new, present an Author they might have only heard of by name. I took a translation of Othello, I shortened it, adapted it as best as I could to our habits, tastes, customs. I studied the part of the pro- tagonist painstakingly, designed the staging, directed and instructed the actors. But to be frank with you, I had grave doubts as to the result … Don’t you know that the very word Shakespeare is hard for us to pronounce? … Tose blessed rules of Aristotle are frmly fxed in every head. Try to get outside them … capers and somersaults … On the night of the performance we were all seized with stage fright, no one more so than me. When the curtain went up … at the scene between lago and Roderigo, when the latter begins to shout from the street outside Brabantio’s house, What ho, Brabantio! Signior Brabantio, ho! the audience began to whisper.

Evidente risulta la tensione verso il superamento del presente storico: oltre la compiaciuta esperienza della solitudo, l’opzione pindemontiana è in direzione del passato, di cui riscoprire gli exempla degni di memoria, in funzione di una palingenesi futura. Com’è noto, il 1805 è l’anno della prima edizione delle pindemontiane Epistole in versi, elaborate nell’arco temporale di circa un lustro, quando ormai i passaggi cruciali della recente Storia – la fase sanguinosa del terrore e i sommovimenti indotti dall’espansionismo napoleonico – avevano lasciato il segno, e un costante disagio conoscitivo investiva le emblematiche certezze della raison illuministica. La descrizione della «condizion di que’ tempi in cui furon composte»1 – come lo stesso autore afferma nella nota introduttiva – è ampiamente presente nella narrazione delle epistole, in cui il presente storico è stigmatizzato come «secolo indegno» e «dolente etade» da fuggire.

Verrà affrontata la tematica dello spazio agreste come dimensione volta al recupero della centralità della persona, la quale, distanziandosi dalle tensioni cittadine, può intraprendere la riconquista del proprio ego nel mondo altro della campagna attraverso uno stato di meditazione ed autosufficienza emotiva. Sarà pertanto recuperata ed approfondita la letteratura paesaggistica e descrittiva di fine ’700, e verrà indagato il rapporto tra tale spazio d’elezione naturale e l’incertezza del tempo storico che gli fa da sfondo: il ritorno al contatto vitale con la dimensione naturale si concretizza in una poesia stagionale di derivazione inglese (che vede il poeta come «colui che fuggito dal mondo […] presta ascolto alla voce della natura») e in una produzione georgico-didascalica che lasciava trapelare i benefici della solitudo e della vita rustica come via privilegiata per la reintegrazione del ritrovato ordine morale.
