Mare, fiume, ruscello
Mare, fiume, ruscello. Acqua e musica nella cultura romantica rilegge la letteratura tedesca tra Sette e Ottocento tematizzandone la figura dell’acqua, seguendo le linee teorico-metodologiche tracciate da Gaston Bachelard nei suoi studi sull’immaginazione materiale, in particolare in L’eau et les rêves del 1942. Il lavoro indaga le affinità elettive tra sostanza liquida, parola poetica e musica nel periodo romantico. La rilettura mette in risalto il grande numero di metafore “liquido-acquatiche” nell’opera liederistica di Franz Schubert, con una particolare attenzione ai cicli Die Schöne Müllerin (1823) e Winterreise (1828). Lo studio viene condotto in prospettiva interdisciplinare che si estende alla lettura e all’ascolto dei Lieder e si situa tra l’analisi letteraria e musicale.
Rewriting and Rereading the XIX and XX-Century Canons
The book takes its lead from academic Annamaria Pagliaro’s experience straddling Australia and Italy over a thirty-year period. As both former colleagues and collaborators of Pagliaro, we editors intend to open a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the international research landscape in the fields of Italian and Anglophone studies, starting from Pagliaro’s own contribution to the creation of relations between the two cultures in the period that saw her work transnationally as Director of the Monash University Prato Centre (2005-2008).
Water Under The Bridge
Emmie Dart was nearly forty years old and servant to old Canon James when Walter asked her to marry him. He was the Canon's son, younger than she was, and a gentleman - even though a rather dilettante drifter who had really done very little with his life. But Walter had a secret in his past that he asked Emmie to share with him - and she, in turn, told him of her harsh and cruel background that made her feel unworthy to be anyone's wife. In spite of everything the marriage worked. Walter became Station Master at the lazy, sundrenched little country station of Dymock. Emmie set about rearing her three children, all so different. As Walter and Emmie watched their children grow, marry, have children of their own, so three women began to dominate the family - Dorothy, who was proud, loyal, strong, and frequently extremely angry with the James family into which she had married, Kildie, illegitimate, manipulative, and causing constant strife and drama, and Holly, the third generation, whose loving spirit often held them all together. It was more than fifty years before Walter James's secret was revealed - a secret that nearly broke the family apart.

Swan Song

Corporate greed was to blame--and her demise could have been prevented. With nothing left to lose, she decides against seeking restitution in the time she has left. Instead, Mara wants revenge. "What did I want to do, see, accomplish before I was finished here? How did I want to leave this earthly plane? My thoughts drifted to swans. Folklore says they sing beautiful songs before they die, sort of a last hurrah. I wanted to sing a song, too -- my own last hurrah."

Jacqueline Risset. Scritture dell’istante
«Nata il 25 maggio 1936. Due desideri precisi: non diventare adulta, scrivere». Jacqueline Risset (1936-2014) è stata traduttrice dal francese (Ponge, Sollers, i poeti di Tel Quel,) e dall’italiano (Dante, Machiavelli, Balestrini), nonché nota studiosa per i suoi lavori su Scève, Proust, Bataille. Questo volume si propone di analizzare l’opera poetica di Risset, dagli esordi con la scrittura testuale nell’ambito dello sperimentalismo di Tel Quel, passando per una traiettoria che, incrociando Dante e lo stilnovismo attraverso il lavoro di traduzione della Commedia, portò l’autrice all’elaborazione di una poetica incentrata sugli «istanti privilegiati» che aprono «all’altrove».
Inquietudine spettrale
Inquietudine spettrale. Gli uccelli nella concezione poetica di Jacob Grimm tratta un aspetto peculiare della concezione poetica di Jacob Grimm: nel quadro di una natura pervasa da spiritualità, fonte di fascinazione per i suoi segreti difficilmente accessibili, gli uccelli, in qualità di abitatori dell’aria, sono percepiti come creature fantasmatiche, suscettibili di infondere nell’osservatore un senso di inquietudine. I singolari richiami al tema riscontrati in saggi, epistole ed opere avvalorano uno spiccato interesse per questa categoria di animali e costituiscono materiale di analisi nel contesto della vasta produzione grimmiana. Oggetto di ricognizione particolarmente approfondita è la celebre raccolta dei Kinder- und Hausmärchen (nella sua prima e poco nota versione), libro capitale del movimento romantico tedesco, in cui il ruolo liminare dei volatili è riconducibile a miti e credenze popolari arcaiche.
