Synopsis
A fresh look at Shakespeare through Italian eyes, from early mentions to the Napoleonic era. This nonfiction work traces how Italian readers, poets, and critics encountered Shakespeare, and how his reputation grew across centuries of culture, politics, and translation.
Through a careful balance of anecdotes, correspondence, and contemporary criticism, the book shows how Italian thinkers—from Conti to Foscolo and Pindemonte—saw Shakespeare as a force in drama and language. It also surveys translation efforts and the changing mood in Italian literary circles as Shakespeare’s influence spread across genres and national boundaries.
- Learn how early Italian writers and travelers encountered English drama and actors.
- See how translations and local adaptations shaped Shakespeare’s reception.
- Explore debates about Shakespeare’s adherence to classical rules and his artistic freedoms.
- Discover the broader cultural context that linked Shakespeare to Italian literature and Europe.
Ideal for readers of literary history and Shakespeare scholarship, especially those curious about transnational reception and the long arc of Shakespeare in Europe.

Présentation de l'éditeur
To the memory of my brother LIEUT.-COLONEL HAROLD DUKE COLLISON-MORLET, soldier and artist, The Buffs, commanding the I (jth London Regt., T. F. (S t. Pancras Battalion), who was killed at the head of his men, after being twice wounded, just before reaching the German trenches in the attack on Loos on the 2$th September, 1915, aged 37. Men must endure Their going hence, even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all. An enthusiastic Shakespeare lover, he had maintained ever since the South African war that Henry Vwas the ideal soldiers play .A copy of it, which he had carried with him throughout the present campaign, was found upon him after his death. Only five days before he was killed he wrote: There is no hardship or terror or doubt that happens out here that Shakespeare does not touch on or give advice for.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the reception and influence of William Shakespeare in Italy from the 18th century to the early 19th century. The author argues that Voltaire's criticism of Shakespeare was highly influential in shaping Italian opinion, despite there being a growing Anglomania in Italy at the time. However, the author also highlights the emergence of more favorable views of Shakespeare among some Italian writers, who saw him as a powerful and innovative dramatist. The book provides valuable insights into the complex and evolving relationship between Italian and English literature during this period, and sheds light on the ways in which Shakespeare's work was interpreted and adapted in a foreign cultural context. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330487532_0
