Item Number: 149539 Title: The Idea of Beauty in Italian Literature and Language : "Il buono amore è di bellezza disio" Author: Di Felice, Claudio ; Philiep Bossier ; Harald Hendrix Price: Not Available ISBN: 9789004388949 Description: Leiden: Brill, 2018. 24cm., hardcover. Summary: Beauty is a central concept in the Italian cultural imagination throughout its history and in virtually all its manifestations. It particularly permeates the domains that have governed the construction of Italian identity: literature and language. The Idea of Beauty in Italian Literature and Language assesses this long tradition in a series of essays covering a wide chronological and thematic range, while crossing from historical linguistics to literary and cultural studies. It offers elements for reflection on cross-disciplinary approaches in the humanities, and demonstrates the power of beauty as a fundamental category beyond aesthetics.
