George Eliot's 'The Lifted Veil'
A Sequential and Contextual Reading
AvFranco Marucci
E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2022
994 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
The negative historical judgment given to George Eliot’s ‘The Lifted Veil’ amounts nowadays to a gross critical blunder, and in the last three decades the story has been firmly reinstated in Eliot’s major canon. The premise of the present book is that George Eliot’s oeuvre is a compact macrotext where themes, motifs, patterns and cultural and personal archetypes recur with variations, and that ‘The Lifted Veil’ functions as the linchpin of this oeuvre. A sequential approach to the story is authorized by the use of a mimetic enunciation that simulates a gradual ‘definition’ of events, places, and characters as they have appeared to the narrating ‘I’ in the course of time until the moment of the enunciation. Contextualizing ‘The Lifted Veil’ means placing it within Eliot’s oeuvre and against the background of Victorian mid-century fiction; in a further meaning, seeing it as intersecting various contemporary genres and subgenres, such as that of the European and American ‘literature of the veil’, that of the archetypal icon of the femme fatale, that of Wilkie Collins’s ‘dead secret’ novels. The most significant facet that critical literature on ‘The Lifted Veil’ has tended to overlook is however the encrypting of the experience of a failed religious conversion and the foreshadowing of the search for a spiritual and racial identity of Daniel Deronda, the hero of Eliot’s final novel.

Poets led by Auden, novelists like Orwell and figures such as Lawrence of Arabia defined the period. By the end of the Second World War, a realist, satirical or comic tradition resurfaces in the novel, while in poetry the affirmation of a pre-war neo-Romantic vein, especially with Dylan Thomas, is reacted against by various movements that lead poetry back to the common man. Two important years are 1953, when Waiting for Godot by Beckett is staged, and 1956, when Look Back in Anger by Osborne gives life to the ‘angry’ novel and theatre. Extensive discussions not only of writers now become classics (Doris Lessing, Iris Murdoch, Heaney, Hill and Ted Hughes) but also of other leading ones (such as Salman Rushdie, Martin Amis and Ian McEwan) are included.

«Franco Marucci seems to have read everything written in the century between Byron and James Joyce. The breadth and depth of this reading provides steady illumination of topics familiar and unfamiliar, and brings many new things to light. Professional erudition and persistence turn up many trouvailles and not a few truffles. A notable addition to scholarship.» (Michael Alexander, Emeritus Professor of English, University of St Andrews)«A remarkable collection of essays, displaying a far from common theoretical acuteness acting on dauntless erudition. Marucci’s explorations of the ‹dialogic element› in major and minor texts of Victorian and early Modern authors are always interesting and often surprising. When does Marucci, the most ‹Victorian› of Italian critics, find time to read and write so much?» (Francesco Rognoni, Professor of English and American Literature, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore – Milan and Brescia)«Franco Marucci traces a fascinating trajectory that invites us to rethink the works of iconic English authors at the intersection of two centuries. The compelling questions in this collection insightfully reinterpret a literary and cultural transition which, with its multifaceted tensions between tradition and innovation, continues to speak to us.» (Nicoletta Pireddu, Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, Georgetown University)«Authors in Dialogue is, therefore, a much-welcomed compendium that gathers many eminent contributions to comparative studies which, now that they are presented together, communicate with each other in intriguing ways and reveal even more thoroughly the author’s critical acumen and coherent system of reasoning.» (Fabio Bazzano, Univ. di Pavia, Review in Il confronto letterario, no. 75)This book gathers together essays and papers written over a time span of around fifteen years. Partly retitled and revised, they were selected for the book because they all focus on the dialogic element in a series of literary works produced in the period extending from late Romanticism to early Modernism. By «dialogic» the author means the sharing of common preoccupations, the recursiveness of motifs, themes and patterns, the emergence of constants, a network of explicit or hidden confrontations. Dialogues may then arise between an author and other contemporaries in the form of an explicit theoretical discussion in letters or critical essays; or implicitly, and allusively, in inventive negotiations that respond to previous works through parody or adaptation. After a concise introduction stating the author’s theoretical debt to the insightful theories of the Russian semiotician and typologist Yuri Lotman, single essays discuss Byron, Ruskin, George Eliot, Matthew Arnold, Hopkins, Ouida, Joyce and T. S. Eliot.
Hopkins and Italomania
A Different Infatuation
AvFranco Marucci
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

This book explores Gerard Manley Hopkins's passion for Italian culture. Living at a time when Italomania was at its peak in British culture, Hopkins cannot be considered an Italomaniac in the same sense as the Brownings, Ruskin, Symonds or Clough. He travelled to Italy only once in his life and his personal relationships with Italians were mostly with fellow Jesuits. However, Hopkins's work reveals his bookish interests in Italy, derived from his reading of its writers and from the study of its history, art and music. The Italian pictorial, sculptural and architectural art of the Renaissance and after, and Gregorian chant, Palestrina and nineteenth-century Italian opera are among topics frequently discussed in Hopkins's letters and diaries. Catholic spirituality and theology and the reform movements preceding the Reformation (Savonarola, Frà Dolcino and others operating on the threshold between orthodoxy and heresy) could not but be of utmost importance for a former Anglican and later Catholic convert. By examining Hopkins and Italy, this study reveals new insights into this major Victorian poet and thinker.

Questo primo di tre volumi di Scritti 1975-2025 di Franco Marucci ripresenta saggi interpretativi estratti dalla sua Storia della letteratura inglese, uscita dal 2003 al 2018 con innovativi criteri manualistici e ladozione di aggiornati strumenti critici. Il punto di partenza di questo selettivo itinerario la poesia in antico e medio inglese con il Beowulf e i poemi del tardo Trecento (Gower, Langland e soprattutto Chaucer). Dopo il piccolo vuoto del Quattrocento la letteratura inglese riprende il suo cammino con le epiche romanzesche e cavalleresche di Sidney e di Spenser, le drammaturgie di Shakespeare e degli altri elisabettiani e giacomiani e la lirica di John Donne e dei metafisici. La Guerra civile prepara lavvento di Milton, il secondo pi grande poeta inglese di ogni tempo, e il Settecento registra lesordio imperioso del romanzo in una rosa di proposte di prodigiosa differenza e divergenza. Il volume si chiude rivisitando la parabola del romanticismo inglese fino al suo abbassamento nel Biedermeier. Il raggio dellesame si estende inoltre ad opere a torto definite minori o secondarie e a testualit riscoperte, come quella femminile, su cui oggi batte laccento.

Questo secondo volume di Scritti - 1975-2025 di Franco Marucci, tratto esso pure dalla sua Storia della letteratura inglese, riparte dal punto nel quale si era chiuso il volume primo, selezionando saggi interpretativi che si addentrano in una delle temperie, la vittoriana, tra le più dense di opere poetiche, narrative e saggistiche universalmente note e proverbiali (Tennyson, Browning, i Rossetti e Hopkins; Dickens, Thackeray, le sorelle Brontë, Wilkie Collins e George Eliot; Ruskin e Pater). Il primo e medio Novecento è studiato poi nella sua gamma di capolavori poetici e romanzeschi che hanno fatto epoca, come quelli di T.S. Eliot e di Yeats, di Joyce, di Virginia Woolf e di Lawrence e sullo sfondo del controcanto della letteratura impegnata di un Orwell e dei “trentisti”. La poesia post-eliotiana è illustrata con l’avvento di Dylan Thomas, Ted Hughes e Larkin, e il risveglio del teatro nel secondo Novecento seguito a partire da Beckett e dagli “arrabbiati”. Gli ultimi ragguagli sulla scena letteraria contemporanea sono dedicati ad autori oggi ancora operanti come Rushdie, Ishiguro, McEwan e Stoppard.

Questo volume terzo di Scritti - 1975-2025 di Franco Marucci, miscellaneo e suddiviso in cinque aree e svariati saggi, capitoli e note, documenta ed esemplifica una produzione che si è allargata, cammin facendo, dall’anglistica pura a una varia pluralità di interessi collegati e ad altri generi di scrittura, concorrendo a formare in tal modo una specie di eclettico “ritratto dell’autore attraverso le sue opere”. Il volume si apre con saggi di comparatistica, di mitologia, di traduttologia e sulle influenze e le interferenze tra le culture; una seconda area è di studi e interventi, in parte inediti, sui rapporti e gli incroci tra la letteratura e le arti, visuale e musicale, e di note, recensioni e rivisitazioni integrali delle filmografie di alcuni dei più noti registi contemporanei. La terza raccoglie dei “medaglioni” dedicati a recenti grandi maestri italiani della critica, e la quarta è una scelta di traduzioni poetiche tratte da edizioni curate dall’autore. Il volume si chiude con alcuni campioni della sua varia produzione “creativa”, come reportages, interventi mediatici su questioni dell’attualità, poesie e capitoli dei suoi tre romanzi pubblicati.

Full coverage is devoted to the legendary fifty-year blossoming of the Elizabethan theatre (excluding Shakespeare, the object of Volume 2), from Kyd and Marlowe up to Jonson, Webster, Middleton, Ford and Shirley. The final part addresses the sixteenth-century prose works of Lyly, Greene and Nashe, homiletics by Hooker and others, and Elizabethan travel literature and historiography.
