L'épuisement du biographique?
Pourquoi penser le biographique? N'est-il pas épuisé? Le siècle passé semble l'avoir vidé de son contenu et de sa substance et l'a réduit à un état d'affaiblissement presque complet dans le domaine des sciences sociales comme dans celui de la critique littéraire. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est d'affirmer que le biographique déborde la biographie et de considérer le biographique comme une condition du retour de la biographie au moyen de son dépassement. Cet ouvrage rassemble des travaux abordant ...
Marriage as a National Fiction
There is a prehistory of the adultery novel, which became a pan-European literary paradigm in the second half of the 19th century. In the wake of the French Revolution, secular marriage legislation emerges, producing a metaphorical surplus that is still effective today. Using legal history and canonical literary texts from Rousseau to Goethe and Manzoni to Hugo and Flaubert, this book traces how marriage around 1800 became a figure of reflection for the modern nation-state. In the process, original contributions to the philology of the individual texts emerge. At the same time, law and literature are made fruitful for a historical semantics of society and community. This book is a translation of an original German 1st edition “Ehe als Nationalfiktion” by Dagmar Stöferle, published by J.B. Metzler, imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The author (with the support of Chris Owain Carter) has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.

Vertical Readings in Dante's Comedy
Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem. This collection – to be issued in three volumes – offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. As the first volume exemplifies, vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante. The volume has its origin in a series of thirty-three public lectures held in Trinity College, the University of Cambridge (2012-2016) which can be accessed at the ‘Cambridge Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy’ website.
Transnational Patriotism in the Mediterranean, 1800-1850
Transnational Patriotism in the Mediterranean charts the lives of those who lived along the shores of the Adriatic during the first half of the nineteenth century, when the region was transformed from a 'Venetian lake' into a battlefield between old and new imperial powers and where emerging nationalisms and nation-states emerged.
Il nodo, il nido
La stagione che va dall’Unità nazionale all’età umbertina segna un momento di svolta per il romanzo matrimoniale italiano. La narrazione dell’ordinaria vita coniugale si problematizza secondo le più variegate istanze di autorappresentazione della borghesia. Nel panorama della produzione postunitaria e di fine Ottocento, Dio ne scampi dagli Orsenigo e Piccolo mondo antico risultano opere emblematiche in tal senso, complementari nella loro diversità. Per quanto lontani sotto il profilo stilistico, questi due romanzi mostrano la principale qualità delle autentiche storie fictae: quella di rivelarci un mondo, d’inventare il vero, come diceva Balzac.
Luigi Tansillo and Lyric Poetry in Sixteenth-century Naples
Luigi Tansillo is one of the most interesting and representative of the Petrarchist poets active in Naples during the mid-sixteenth century. This study reconsiders his substantial lyric corpus from a variety of perspectives, opening with a survey of the textual tradition and previous critical work on his verse. Four of Tansillo's lyric collections are examined in depth, and read from narrative and thematic points of view. Particular emphasis is placed on the evolution of the collections, by exploring the ways in which very different types of narrative implying different underlying poetics can be constructed using often identical poems. Parallel to this is a consideration of Tansillo's place within the broader literary historical context, and his use of verse as a political and ideological tool in the service of the Spanish viceroy of Naples. These detailed studies of individual poetic sequences are complemented by an analysis of Tansillo's poetic language within the context of Neapolitan reactions to the questione della lingua, and of his contribution to creating a fixed iconology for the representation of jealousy in the Renaissance and Baroque lyric.
Il protagonismo femminile nell’opera di Ada Negri
Per qualche decennio, Ada Negri è stata la più celebre poetessa italiana. Dai versi di vibrante protesta sociale e fascinosa allusività autobiografica che sul finire dell’Ottocento la resero nota come «la vergine rossa», all’onore dell’Accademia d’Italia – prima e unica donna –, fino all’oblio pressoché totale, la parabola dell’autrice di Lodi conserva ancora oggi acuti motivi di interesse critico. Abilissima nel calibrare fermenti di novità e modelli retorici tradizionali, la Negri compensa la diffidenza dei letterati ufficiali con il consenso vasto di un pubblico non umanisticamente educato che, nell’Italia giolittiana e poi fascista, ne apprezza le risorse espress...
Il conto degli errori
Per ben quarantadue volte in 136 anni di storia unitaria il debito pubblico ha superato in Italia il prodotto interno lordo. Addentrandosi nei meandri dello Stato, Leonida Tedoldi riflette sulle ragioni politiche della crescita del debito italiano, ne sottolinea l'uso 'di governo' praticato tra gli anni Settanta e Novanta e ne analizza le ricadute sull'economia. Dalla sua ricostruzione emergono passaggi storici delicati e sorprendenti, uno su tutti: la fase di rottura del 1985-87 durante la quale l'indecisione politica del governo non condusse a una reale politica di rientro del debito, raggiungendo così un punto di non ritorno. L'autore spinge la sua analisi agli anni più recenti, fino all'alterazione della 'sovranità' del debito italiano dovuta all'ingresso consistente di soggetti stranieri nel novero dei detentori di titoli di credito.
