Opis

A dual-perspective study of how English engagement with Italy, and the work of Italian exiles in London, radicalised Romantic poetry.

Recenzje

'The Italian Idea offers a fine contribution to the strong and durable critical interest in Anglo-Italian relations during the period. Particularly effective is Bowers's telescoping mode of inquiry, one that allows him to move nimbly between insightful close readings of individual works and a contextual regard for the complex ways that these works are warmed by the fading revolutionary coals of the post-Waterloo years.' John Bugg, Keats-Shelley Journal
