Classicism and Romanticism in Italian Literature: Leopardi's Discourse on Romantic Poetry


Overview

In 1816 a violent literary quarrel engulfed Bourbon Restoration Italy. On one side the Romantics wanted an opening up of Italian culture towards Europe, and on the other the Classicists favoured an inward-looking Italy. Giacomo Leopardi wrote a Discourse of an Italian on Romantic Poetry aiming to contribute to the debate from a new perspective.

Reviews

'This is a book that opens radically new perspectives on Italian Romanticism, where the fractures that will resonate through the conflicting cultures of modern Italy first begin to take shape. With at its heart the most original contribution to the Romantic debate in Italy, Giacomo Leopardi's Discourse of an Italian on Romantic Poetry, Camilletti's study provides both a new assessment of Leopardi's writing in its historical context and a nuanced account of the cultural trauma that characterised the early years of the Restoration, between 1815 and 1827.' Michael Caesar, University of Birmingham
