- Title
Tradizione eroica e tradizione eroicomica nei Paralipomeni di Leopardi. Saggio di raffronti.
- Authors
Penso, Andrea
- Abstract
In the last period of his life, Leopardi gave a twist to his way to make poetry, which became more aggressive and combative since 1830, ready to a more active clash with the present. With the abandonment of Recanati, a new season for the poet began: the (mostly) satirical one, very different from any other previous experience. The most important result of Leopardi's 'new' course is indisputably the Paralipomeni della Batracomiomachia, the mock-epic poem which is the masterpiece of Leopardi's satirical poetry. A real unicum in Leopardi's production, this book is fed by multiple literary influences and sources, more or less discovered. This paper therefore aims to investigate which were for Leopardi the main models that have had more influence in his approach to the mock-epic genre, and through which communication strategies and ways of expression the poet was able to renew this traditional literary genre, in order to produce a particular and ferocious poem suited to his particular satirical needs.
