Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the reception and influence of William Shakespeare in Italy from the 18th century to the early 19th century. The author argues that Voltaire's criticism of Shakespeare was highly influential in shaping Italian opinion, despite there being a growing Anglomania in Italy at the time. However, the author also highlights the emergence of more favorable views of Shakespeare among some Italian writers, who saw him as a powerful and innovative dramatist. The book provides valuable insights into the complex and evolving relationship between Italian and English literature during this period, and sheds light on the ways in which Shakespeare's work was interpreted and adapted in a foreign cultural context. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330487532_0
