This book was released on 2004-09-07 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Now, translator Federica Brunori Deigan presents lyrical English-language versions of these two tragedies which, taken together, dramatize the first two epochs in Manzoni's "history of Italy." (The Betrothed completes the triptych, illustrating the period of Spanish domination.) Long unavailable in English, The Count of Carmagnola and Adelchis are distinguished by their dramatic power and thematic gravity. Manzoni considers the interactions of Christian morals and Machiavellian politics through deft psychological portraiture, ultimately revealing the course of history as a fabric woven by individuals free will according to a logical pattern of actions and reactions, within the vaster providential plan, that human eyes can only dimly perceive."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Realism and Space in the Novel, 1795-1869 written by Rosa Mucignat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Posing new questions about realism and the creative power of narratives, Rosa Mucignat takes a fresh look at the relationship between representation and reality. As Mucignat points out, worlds evoked in fiction all depend to a greater or lesser extent on the world we know from experience, but they are neither parasites on nor copies of those realms. Never fully aligned with the real world, stories grow out of the mismatch between reality and representation-those areas of the fictional space that are not located on actual maps, but still form a fully structured imagined geography. Mucignat offers new readings of six foundational texts of modern Western culture: Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed, Stendahl'ss The Red and the Black, Charles Dickens's Great Expectations, and Gustave Flaubert's Sentimental Education. Using these texts as source material and supporting evidence for a new and comprehensive theory of space in fiction, she examines the links between the nineteenth-century novel's interest in creating substantial, life-like worlds and contemporary developments in science, art, and society. Mucignat's book is an evocative analysis of the way novels marshal their technical and stylistic resources to produce imagined geographies so complex and engrossing that they intensify and even transform the reader's experience of real-life places.

Download or read book Cesare Zavattini’s Neo-realism and the Afterlife of an Idea written by David Brancaleone and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many Zavattinis are there? During a life spanning most of the twentieth century, the screenwriter who wrote Sciuscià, Bicycle Thieves, Miracle in Milan, and Umberto D. was also a pioneering magazine publisher in 1930s Milan, a public intellectual, a theorist, a tireless campaigner for change within the film industry, a man of letters, a painter and a poet. This intellectual biography is built on the premise that in order to understand Zavattini's idea of cinema and his legacy of ethical and political cinema (including guerrilla cinema), we must also tease out the multi-faceted strands of his interventions and their interplay over time. The book is for general readers, students and film historians, and anyone with an interest in cinema and its fate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at a broad spectrum of writers--English, French, German, Italian, Russian and other East Europeans--Virgil Nemoianu offers here a coherent characterization of the period 1815-1848. This he calls the era of the domestication of romanticism. The explosive, visionary core of romanticism is seen to give way--after the defeat of Napoleon--to an expanded and softer version reflecting middle-class values. This later form of romanticism is characterized by moralizing efforts to reform society, a sentimental yearning for the tranquility of home and hearth, and persistent faith in the individual, alongside a new skepticism, shattered ideals, and consequent irony. Expanding the application of the term Biedermeier, which has been useful in describing this period in German literature, Nemoianu provides a new framework for understanding these years in a wider European context.

Book excerpt: First published in 1991. At once poet, dramatist, adaptor and translator, the operatic librettist in turn expresses and mocks social convention. Deirdre O'Grady's study of the Italian operatic librettist identifies opera as a mirror of literary climates, popular taste and political aspirations. The Last Troubadours traces the history of the Italian libretto from its courtly origin in the 16th century, through the crisis of the aristocracy and the 19th-century struggle for national unity, to the birth of social realism. Fundamental elements of Italian opera - heroic valour, cunning servants, revolutionary ardour and romantic tenderness - are considered in their historical and cultural context. Also discussed are famous lyrical and musical collaborations - of Da Ponte and Mozart, Solera and Verdi, Romani and Bellini, and Boito and Verdi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matilde Serao's richly detailed narratives created a metamorphical city of women negotiating the social and cultural byways of turn-of-the-century Italy. With each text, Serao (1856-1927) added another stratum to her imaginary metropolis, grounding her works in realistic detail and acute social observation. Over the course of almost thirty novels, more than one hundred short stories, and innumerable newspaper articles, Serao articulated her own vision of female destiny in a society governed by traditional, often restrictive, paradigms of female behavior. This study examines how Serao refashioned traditional genres throughout her long literary career, a narrative strategy that allowed her to focus specifically on the depiction of female experiences.

Download or read book Mundunur: A Mountain Village Under the Spell of South Italy written by Michele Antonio Di Marco and published by Via Media Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montenero Val Cocchiara is usually referred to simply as Montenero, or Mundunur in the local dialect. Montenero is a typical mountain village on the border of the Abruzzo and Molise regions, but it is more than that. Its history was tinted by contacts with numerous powerful groups over many centuries. The village and its people prove to be unique, but they also are highly embued with elements common to all in South Italy. Of course it is the hope of the author that anyone with roots in South Italy will benefit from reading this book. However, his much greater aspiration is that others will equally enjoy the story of Montenero as a metaphor of their own ancestral village or town, regardless of country or even see the village as a microcosm of the world where the forces of history and culture forge the character of people.

Download or read book The Reasonable Romantic written by Sante Matteo and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1986 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great European writer Alessandro Manzoni, 1785-1873, known primarily for his masterful novel I promessi sposi (The Betrothed), remains relatively unknown and insufficiently appreciated outside the rather narrow confines of Italian studies. Yet, his artistic and theoretical contributions to the Romantic debate and to Western literature were important ones, and influential throughout Europe. The seventeen studies collected in this book analyze and assess Manzoni's divers literary roles: poet, dramatist, novelist, linguist, historian, religious thinker, aesthetic theorist. The articles are written in English, and all quoted Italian passages are also given in English translation. Thus, the book offers the English reader who may not be acquainted with this very important writer an introduction to the beauty, the richness, and the complexity of his wide-ranging writings. And yet, all the articles are original, never-before-published contributions on specific aspects of Manzoni studies which will be of interest to Manzoni scholars everywhere. The contributors (Jean-Pierre Barricelli, Larry H. Peer, Sante Matteo, Murray R. Low, Roberto Severino, Robert A. Hall, Jr., Gregory Lucente, Alfonso Procaccini, Stelio Cro, Clareece Godt, Steven C. Hughes, Massimo Verdicchio, S.B. Chandler, Franco Triolo, and Steven Sondrup) hail from different disciplines - Italian studies, comparative literature, history, linguistics - and include widely recognized experts on Manzoni as well as new voices in the field.
