Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Idea in Italian Literature The national idea IN italian literature was the title of the inaugural lecture delivered in the University of Manchester, on November 6th, 1919, at the Opening of the newly-founded depart ment of Italian Studies. In the following pages the lecture has been somewhat expanded and, here and there, modified. It remains, however, substantially the same. I would ask my readers to take it still as no more than a prolusione, and to let this explain, if not excuse, the omission of many names, especially in the nineteenth century, which could not have been passed over in any fuller treatment of the subject.

This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the beginning... There is a noble poem by Carducci, Per il monumento di Dante a Trento (written in 1896), in which the soul of the Divine Poet soars up after death to the gate of Purgatory, impelled by conscience to seek the expiation of his pride before passing into the bliss of Paradise. A voice from on high tells him that the spiritual world of his vision has passed away, but God has consigned Italy to his charge ; he is to watch over her destiny as a guardian spirit through the centuries, until the fullness of the times shall come:- "Ed or s' è fermo, e par ch'aspetti, a Trento." The national idea came to Dante as part of that essential continuity between ancient Rome and modem Italy which is the key to Italian civilization. Virgil himself had defined the national aspirations of Italians throughout the centuries, when he placed upon the lips of Aeneas the pregnant words: Italiam quaero patriam. There was never a time, from the day on which a barbarian conqueror dethroned the last of the old Roman emperors in the west to that on which Victor Emanuel assumed the crown of the united modem kingdom, when Italy - in the notorious phrase of Metternich - was "a mere geographical expression." From the writers of ancient Rome the Italians of the early Middle Ages had inherited the conception of the Italy of classical literature, whose glories and beauties, whose ancient gods and heroes, had been sung by Virgil and Horace - the Italy which, through the Roman Empire, had given the Latin civilization to the nations whom she united in the Roman Peace. The continuity of the Latin tradition in Italy, kept alive by the grammarians and rhetoricians, by the study of the classics and of Roman law, preserved this conception of an ideal Italian unity after the political unity had been torn to pieces as the result of the Langobard conquest. We find Italia in this sense in the letters of Gregory the Great at the very beginning of the Middle Ages, when the political dissolution of the peninsula had but just begun. An anonymous writer of Ravenna, at the end of the seventh century, speaks of that patria nobilissima quae dicitur Italia. There was a notably strong sense of Latin continuity in the eleventh and twelfth centuries; the new, vigorous, many-sided life and activity of the communes was, in part, a conscious renovation in the Italian cities of the spirit of ancient Rome. Thus, the anonymous poet, who celebrates the victory of the Pisans over the Saracens on the African coast in 1088, begins by uniting this new glory of Pisa with the deeds of the Romans of old:- "Inclytorum Pisanorum scripturus historiam, antiquorum Romanorum renovo memoriam; nam extendit modo Pisa laudem admirabilem, quam olim recepit Roma vincendo Carthaginem." And he calls upon not only Pisa, but all Italy, to weep for the fallen hero, Ugo Visconti.

Download or read book The Idea of Europe in British Travel Narratives, 1789-1914 written by Katarina Gephardt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth century was the heyday of travel, with Britons continually reassessing their own culture in relation to not only the colonized but also other Europeans, especially the ones that they encountered on the southern and eastern peripheries of the continent. Offering illustrative case studies, Katarina Gephardt shows how specific rhetorical strategies used in contemporary travel writing produced popular fictional representations of continental Europe in the works of Ann Radcliffe, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Bram Stoker. She examines a wide range of autobiographical and fictional travel narratives to demonstrate that the imaginative geographies underpinning British ideas of Europe emerged from the spaces between fact and fiction. Adding texture to her study are her analyses of the visual dimensions of cross-cultural representation and of the role of evolving technologies in defining a shared set of rhetorical strategies. Gephardt argues that British writers envisioned their country simultaneously as distinct from the Continent and as a part of Europe, anticipating the contradictory British discourse around European integration that involves both fear that the European super-state will violate British sovereignty and a desire to play a more central role in the European Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italian in America The design of "The Italian in America" is to present clearly the contribution of Italy to American development and citizenship. The work is one of a series reviewing the influx of the various racial strains and nationalities that are making up the composite American. The authors have in view simply the recital of facts for impartial consideration, for no concern of this country is more momentous and urgent than the national dealing with the problems of immigration, congestion, distribution and education for American standards of living and citizenship. To exclude what is essentially bad or unfusible from any source - to welcome and utilize what is essentially good and helpful, even if yet imperfectly developed, is in the judgment of the authors the true American policy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy Past and Present The special Rotunda of the Italian Exhibit contains the likenesses of men who carried on high the torch of human progress, forerunners and masters in science and art; it illustrates the various phases and steps passed through to attain Italian Unity; it renders bare justice to the principal leaders in the national struggle; it prospects the present state of the country as compared with its former condition in comparatively recent times: in one word it has the elements necessary to give an idea of what we were and what we are. People from afar, who live their own lives, in their own surroundings and atmosphere, not altogether familiar with our present standing, are wont to consider Italy from the standpoint of its majestic ruins, its glorious buildings, statues and pictures, the whole seasoned with melodic singing and maccaroni! A delightful haunt for tourists, where sunny skies enhance the joy of beautiful landscapes, noble remains of former times, unique collections of art, towns, villages and hamlets reflecting the life of past ages: so far, so good. Our climate is delightful, our country picturesque, the monuments and treasures of former civilisations bring home to one's mind the fact that in some aspects of life progress is not continual, that the sense of beauty embodied in stone or canvass is hardly a modern invention; the strains on the Venetian canals or the bay of Naples evoke musical sentiment; even the maccaroni, when properly prepared and cooked, carry their gastronomical lesson: but that is not all.

Book excerpt: Tuscany is a landscape whose cultural construction is complicated and multi-layered. It is this very complexity that this book seeks to untangle. By revealing hidden histories, we learn how food, landscape and architecture are intertwined, as well as the extent to which Italian design and contemporary consumption patterns form a legacy that draws upon the Romantic longings of a century before. In the process, this book reveals the extent to which Tuscany has been constructed by Anglos — and what has been distorted, idealized and even overlooked in the process.
