This review of the new (2017) Italian translation by Giorgio Ziffer of Paul Maas’ famous Textkritik focuses mainly on three aspects: the first concerns the translator’s decision to translate the German text as literally as possible. The second concerns how this choice is related to the particular importance bestowed on style, vocabulary and syntax in Paul Maas’ scholarly discourse. Finally, the third concerns the topicality of Paul Maas’ ecdotic thought, illustrated by some examples of still debated issues in textual criticism.

Kato is the Hungarian name of Katia Bleier, Luigi Meneghello’s wife. The Bertoliana Library, in Vicenza, holds over forty letters from Luigi Meneghello to Kato, written during two very important lifespans: the autumn of 1948, when Meneghello was waiting for the arrival in England of his newly wedded wife, and the spring-summer of 1954, when Kato was hospitalised in Reading for a severe illness. These letters are a document of considerable emotional intensity, but they also shed some light to the experience of “dispatrio” (from Henry James’ dispatriation ), that was to be the new cultural hub interplaying with the small but powerful world of Malo, the native village of Meneghello. The most interesting bunch of letters is the first one: here we can find, mingled with predominant familiar writing, some examples of sublime style, which foreshadows the masterly hand of the Author.

The aim of this article is to analyse the role of Neapolitan Hegelianism within the general context of the Risorgimento highlighting the connections between Hegel’s reception in Italy and the process of national political emancipation. It first describes the relations between Hegelianism and the Risorgimento and then focuses on the confrontation between the two prtogonists of Hegelianism in Naples, Bertrando Spaventa (1817-1883) and Francesco De Sanctis (1817-1883). Aiming at understanding the whole phenomenon from a transnational perspective it highlights this aspect both in Spaventa’s “theory of the circulation of Italian and European thought” (1862) and by means of De Sanctis’ exile experience in Zurich (1856-1860) and his reflections on the Italian republican tradition.

The Knight of the Burning Pestle is a colourful and lively burlesque comedy by Francis Beaumont, performed at the Blackfriars Theatre in 1607. It was not a success; the play, rejected by the Jacobean audience, is now considered the most important item in the Beaumont- and-Fletcher canon. This Jacobean drama is characterized by sharp and original social satire conveyed through a multilayered message and a meta-fictional structure as the elements of this extraordinary, indeed emblematic example of early modern English theatre. There is an ongoing debate among scholars about the influence of Cervantes’ Don Quixote on Beaumont’s comedy. This article aims to show a new perspective shedding light on some so far unexplored features of the play, clearly showing Cervantes’ influence on Beaumont’s Knight either as a model or as a source of inspiration.

The beginning of the 20th century was a period of linguistic and literary renewal in Estonia, where Italian literature became a reference point for the young generation of local modernists. This article analyses the influence of Italian writers on Estonian culture between 1905 and 1918, focusing on the activities of the literary movement “Young Estonia”. Its predilection for decadent aestheticism is compared with the impressions that direct contact with Italy made on the Estonian intellectuals who, in this period, started to visit the country and write about it in their travelogues. This comparison becomes the place for a reflection on the potentialities and contradictions of the “unequal” exchange between centre and periphery of the European literary and cultural tradition.

With his latest publication, Christian Genetelli focuses again on Giacomo Leopardi’s correspondence. Looking for a new method to ascertain one of the collateral sources, which traditionally contributes to historical, biographical and aesthetical research, this book revolves around a sort of editorial cold case, i.e. the earliest collections of Leopardi’s epistles. At the same time, it may also represent a beginning for other editions, based a philological premise that could lead to a new critical edition of the text.

Some events of our history hurt us deeply, as rational and moral beings, without time or recurrence of (in)direct experiences being able to create addiction. But, how can we ensure this collective memory over time? How can we preserve it from ambiguous manipulations, in a world that is constantly attracted by indifference and banalization? Gli intellettuali/scrittori ebrei e il dovere della testimonianza wants to answer these questions by setting up an interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue. The book focuses on the (still current) problem of the Shoah and offers a overview of Jewish vicissitudes and culture, which delves into the historical and ethical role of literature and art.
