Book Description Condition: Sehr gut. VIII; 230p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Italy has long had a profound fascination for the British imagination, and the experience of Italy of many major writers has been central to the development of their work. Many studies exist of the influence of Italy on individual authors or small groups of writers, but no previous book traces the image of Italy in English writing over so long and fruitful a period, to show how each author draws on and extends the available literary picture of Italy. This book looks at the treatment of Italy in English literature from the eighteenth century until 1930, a period when many of our inherited attitudes to Italy were being formed and evaluated. Over this time a complete reversal of values takes place, from the enlightenment adulation of ancient Rome and contempt for modern Italy to Lawrence s characterisation of Roman civilisation as brutal and the Italian peasantry as vital. Between the two extremes lie the Italy of the Gothic novel, Romantic Italy, Ruskin and Browning, the British response to the Risorgimento, the frequent appearance of Italy in Victorian fiction, and the rediscovery of the Renaissance and paganism. By examining all the significant uses of Italy in this literature and relating them to influences from other literatures and arts and to the constant flood of minor writing about Italy, the book presents a detailed study of a literary tradition, which offers a clear perspective onto the shifting creative emphases of the period and revaluations of many of the authors treated, as well as providing a new kind of intellectual guidebook for the reader who wishes to relate his own responses to Italy to their morphology in the history of feeling. Contents: From Addison to Gibbon; Between Gibbon and Byron; Shelley and the Minor Romantics; Italy in English Fiction , 1820 - 37; Developments in the 1830s; Ruskin; Browning; The other Victorian poets; The Victorians and the Renaissance; Italy and the English Novel in the Mid-Century; The American Novelists in Italy; Italy and the English Novel, 1870-1917; D.
