Klappentext zu „Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry “
Twentieth-century Italian poetry is haunted by countless ghosts and shadows from opera. Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry reveals their presence and sheds light on their role in shaping that great poetic tradition. This is the first work in English to analyze the influence of opera on modern Italian poetry, uncovering a fundamental but neglected relationship between the two art forms. A group of Italian poets, from Gabriele D'Annunzio to Giorgio Caproni, by way of Umberto Saba and Eugenio Montale, made opera a cornerstone of their artistic craft. More than an occasional stylistic influence, opera is rather analyzed as a fundamental facet of these poets' intellectual quest to overcome the expressive limitations of lyrical poetry. This book reframes modern Italian poetry in a truly interdisciplinary perspective, broadening our understanding of its prominence within the humanities, in the twentieth century and beyond.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Echoes of Opera in Modern Italian Poetry “

Pressezitat
"Echoes of Opera offers an excellent insight into the influence of opera on the works of D' Annunzio, Montale, Saba, and Caproni. The book's narrative flows easily, and the author gives plenty of examples to support his contentions. It is worth looking up the referenced works ... so the reader can get more familiar with the lesser- known sides and works of these key figures of twentieth-century Italian poetry." (Dora Bodrogai, Annali d'italianistica, Vol. 40, 2022)
