The first issue of Conciliatore was published in September 1818; its history includes heated discussions. Silvio Pellico, who was its most consistent proponent, felt himself to be part of a hegemonic intellectual elite. There is a Foscolian mark to the works of these young intellectuals of the new generation. It is the crisis of a generation that comes to attack the very idea of literature that sees the passage from the certainties of the Enlightenment to the Romantic disquiet. The querelle des anciens et des modernes brought to light the unbridgeable hiatus that put Foscolo in a position of contrast with his friends and pupils. The position assumed by the exile risked placing him against his dearest friends, the Romantics, and bringing him closer to his detractors, the Classicists. Foscolo does not manage to see any possibility of experimenting a valid mediation. A clear symptom of his peremptory closure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Le postille foscoliane della Chioma di Berenice nell'edizione GambarinIl contributo ricostruisce i criteri ecdotici cui si attenne Giovanni Gambarin nella sua edizione della traduzione foscoliana della Chioma di Berenice di Catullo, e delle relative postille d'autore (1972). Dalla collazione fra l'edizione e il postillato originale conservato alla Biblioteca Marucelliana di Firenze (R. E. 151), emerge la figura di uno studioso pronto a rinnovare le prassi filologiche del tempo, introducendo l'apparato critico e reintegrando nell'opera la traduzione dell’epistola a Ortalo, scorrettamente espunta dall'editore precedente. Foscolo's notes in Gambarin edition of the Chioma di Berenice The paper aims at reconstructing the ecdotic criteria used by Giovanni Gambarin in his edition of Foscolo's translation of the Chioma di Berenice by Catullo, and of the related author's annotations (1972). The collation between the edition and the original printing with handwritten notes, preserved in Florence at the Biblioteca Marucelliana (R. E. 151) allows to recognize the figure of a scholar ready to renew the philological practices of his time, introducing the critical apparatus and reintegrating into the work the translation of the letter to Ortalo, incorrectly expunged by the previous editor.

This contribution examines the correspondence between Luigi Carrer and Florentine intellectuals and reconstructs two particularly important episodes in his intellectual biography. The first episode concerns Carrer's contacts (mediated by Niccolò Tommaseo) with Giovan Pietro Vieusseux, who eventually invited him to be a writer for the «Antologia»; the second episode (1849-50) outlines Carrer's involvement in the publication of Ugo Foscolo's Opere by Le Monnier, an enterprise of central importance to Florentine and Italian culture. The article ends with the edition of the complete and previously unpublished correspondence between Carrer and Vieusseux. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Marangon, Giorgia (2013). La poesía de Ugo Foscolo y su alter ego en francés, Gabriel Marie Legouvé. (Víctor Anguita Martínez).

El epistolario que se presenta es una continuación del que mantuvieron dos académicos, el Dr. Alberto Golding (bueno como el oro, pero potencialmente maleable) y la Dra. Manman Touchstone (comprueba si algo o alguien es genuino) (Branda, 2015). El título se inspira en la primera novela de Clarice Lispector, Perto do coração selvagem donde las relaciones humanas se examinan a través de los sentimientos de una mujer y donde la protagonista dice “No entanto como seria bom construir alguma coisa pura, liberta do falso amor sublimizado, liberta do medo de não amar... Medo de não amar, pior do que o medo de não ser amado...” (Lispector, 1995: 108). Los correspondientes en este epistolario intercalan sus sentimientos y reflexiones siendo el tema dominante el análisis de la naturaleza de las relaciones amorosas, incluyendo la de los padres a su progenie y la separación o el escoger un nuevo camino; “Não fugir, mas ir” (Lispector, 1995: 208)

Aim of this article is an overview of recent essays on the English works of Ugo Foscolo, which include numerous and many-sided literary and critic writings composed by the poet during his exile years in England. This late period of Foscolo’s activity has been greatly neglected and it is characterized by peculiarities and difficulties, both in terms of surviving documents and interpretation. We intend to look specifically into Foscolo’s works on Dante, also thanks to the opportunity to review Davide Colombo’s essay on Foscolo e i commentatori danteschi.

Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827) e Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) dedicaram boa parte das suas vivências literárias ao estudo crítico de obras mais e menos significativas da literatura clássica greco-latina, da literatura italiana e, em menor escala, da “moderna” literatura europeia. A atividade crítica dos dois autores desenvolveu-se concomitantemente à própria experiência literária, por isso, este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o modus operandi dos dois autores em relação à construção crítica, especialmente aquela relacionada a obras e autores italianos.

This article analyses the influences by the French writer Gabriel Legouvé have had on Ugo Foscolo’s poem I Spolcri. Acareful thematic and textual analysis of Legouvé’s original work, with the Italian poet’s “Carme” clearly shows the sometimes surprising influence of sepulchral themes explored by the French writer, not only in Italian but also in European poetry and literature.

This essay is aimed at examining Foscolo's activity as a Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Pavia, where he taught in 1809. In particular, it focuses on the three lectures on morals in literature, in which Foscolo defines his idea of a literature based on values such as truth and morals. In his view, eloquence becomes an essential tool to transmit these values to the young people, since teaching the new generation represents the real aim of a man of letters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
