Experiences in reading the Zibaldone
Scholars in literature, arts and philosophy normally deal with such notions as 鈥渟ource鈥�, 鈥渋nfluence鈥�, 鈥渞elationship鈥� between writers, movements, periods. What does an alleged 鈥渋nfluence鈥� really consist of? How do we detect the nature of a 鈥渞elationship鈥� between authors? What does a writer really want to say when recalling another one? How do 鈥渋nfluences鈥� work when applied to different genres, such as poetry and philosophy? These questions become more and more challenging when addressing European Romanticisms. Post-Revolutionary years witnessed the most radical questioning of literary tradition after the Renaissance. We will be discussing this with Dr James Vigus and Dr Gabriele De Luca, who focused those theoretical issue on a paradigmatic figure of Romanticism: S. T. Coleridge.
