Synopsis

The ‘histories of editions’ – in terms of their preparation (from genesis to publication), study of textual tradition, author’s role, editorial choices, transmission, and reception – are at the center of this miscellaneous volume, which offers investigations into writers and works analyzed from different perspectives yet grounded in shared methodological foundations. The first section presents case studies related to the second half of the Eighteenth Century, ranging from the already post-Arcadian but not yet fully Neoclassical experience of Ludovico Savioli to the threshold of the following Century, with Vincenzo Monti’s revolutionary poems, which serve as an example of politically engaged literature. The second part, by contrast, focuses on a more strictly documentary perspective, addressing the formation of authorial archives and libraries, as seen in the working methods of Vittorio Alfieri and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
