Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a remarkable chronicle of the development of literary criticism in Italy during the 17th and 18th centuries. Before this period, literary criticism was chiefly concerned with judging works against established rules and traditions. However, the featured era saw the emergence of a new critical approach, one focused on the intrinsic qualities of literature and the creative spirit of the artist. The author traces the roots of this shift to the influence of foreign models, especially English and French, and the rise of a new philosophical movement known as Cartesianism. Through insightful analysis of prominent literary figures, such as Montani, Gravina, and Conti, the book delves into the development of key critical concepts, including the nature of beauty, the role of imagination, and the relationship between poetry and truth. These ideas laid the groundwork for a more nuanced understanding of literature and its impact on the human experience. Ultimately, this book not only provides a comprehensive overview of a pivotal period in literary criticism but also offers valuable insights into the nature of artistic creation and appreciation, making it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
