«L'ultimo cavaliere errante de' tempi moderni». «Dei Sepolcri» di Foscolo dalla “coscienza” desanctisiana alla critica intertestuale del Novecento

Abstract

After analyzing part of the De Sanctis essay devoted to the Sepolcri, but also with links to other works by Foscolo, there is a picture of the essential lines of the resumption of some genial intuitions of the critics of Irpinia and their overcoming in the hermeneutic hubs of the twentieth century, Donadoni and Croce in Fubini and Binni, Gavazzeni and Scotti in Muscetta and Di Benedetto, highlighting the intertextual relations of Carme with burial poetry not only English but also and above all French, by Delille in Legouvé.
