Book Description
Excerpt from Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy This book is at first sight heterogeneous and anomalous: heterogeneous, because it treats two subjects which are rarely treated by one individual, and never treated under one binding, literature and music; anomalous, because it is far from dealing with all that goes to make up the Italian Eighteenth Century, while it deals with not a few men and things belonging to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Why not deal exclusively and completely with either music or literature? Why not study the satirist Parini by the side of the playwright Goldoni, rather than study the composer Jommelli, who seems to have no connection with him? Why examine the comedies of the time of Salvator Rosa and pass over the tragedies of Alfieri? Why linger over forgotten composers and singers while scientific and philosophic writers, whose works are still read and discussed, remain unmentioned? The book is seemingly most incoherent in subject, and most incomplete and digressive in treatment. But the apparent incoherence of subject is in reality unity of treatment; and the apparent incompleteness and irrelevance of treatment is in reality completeness and restriction of the subject. The book deals both with literature and with music, because the point of view of the writer is neither exclusively literary nor exclusively musical, but generally aesthetic; because the object of the writer has been to study not the special nature and history of any art in its isolation, but to study the constitution and evolution of the various arts compared with one another; and the arts whose constitution and evolution can be studied in a work on the Italian Eighteenth Century happen to be the drama and music, just as the arts which might be studied in a work on the Athenian fifth century B.C. would be the drama and sculpture. The writer of this book is neither a literary historian nor a musical critic, but an aesthetician; and both literature and music belong to the aesthetician's domain.

Italy and the Rise of a New School of Criticism in the 18th Century (With Special Reference to the Work of Pietro Calepio) (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Italy and the Rise of a New School of Criticism in the 18th Century (With Special Reference to the Work of Pietro Calepio) The following essay belongs to and supplements a larger work on Italian Literary Criticism in the 17th and 18th centuries which will be published later when the researches into that criticism are finished. Material for this research, conducted under the direction and with the assistance of the Carnegie Trust, was collected in the academic year, 1919-20, in several libraries in Italy, notably the Biblioteca Nazionale and the University Library of Naples, thd Biblioteca Civica of Bergamo, the Biblioteche Marucelbnna, Laurenzcana and Magleabecehiana of Florence, and the Biblioteca Vittorio Emmanuele of Rome; some detail was also culled from the British Museum. Apart from those libraries I enjoyed the privilege of consulting the private collection of Benedetto Croce, and may state that the general principles and methods illustrated in the investigation owe largely their origin to his suggestion and encouragement.

The Eighteenth-century Diaspora of Italian Music and Musicians
Author: Reinhard StrohmPublisher: Brepols Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
On an eighteenth-century map of European culture, Italian musicians would be found almost everywhere. Unlike in earlier ages, they now provided an intrinsic part of the international exchange: no longer exotic birds, but not yet the representatives of a single nation, they helped other Europeans to forget traditional frontiers in music. In this fascinating book, eight specialised music historians investigate several important aspects of the Italian contribution, highlighting local musical practices, the aesthetic of genres, and the larger patterns of musical cultivation and patronage.
Britain and Italy in the Long Eighteenth Century
Author: Rosamaria LoretelliPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
The essays in this collection range across literature, aesthetics, music and art, and explore such themes as the dynamics of change in eighteenth-century aesthetics; time, modernity and the picturesque; the function of graphic ornaments in eighteenth-century texts; imaginary voyages as a literary genre; the genesis of childrenâ (TM)s literature; the Italian opera and musical theory in Frances Burneyâ (TM)s novels; Italian and British art theories; and patterns of cultural transfers and of book circulation between Britain and Italy in the eighteenth century. Collectively they epitomise the concerns and approaches of scholars working on the long eighteenth century at this challenging and exciting time. In the absence of universally agreed, overarching interpretations of the cultural history of the long eighteenth century, these papers pave the way for the ultimate emergence of such explanations. Authors discussed here include Margaret Cavendish, David Russen, Francis Hutcheson, Reverend Gilpin, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Dugald Stewart, Dorothy Kilner, Frances Burney, Anna Gordon Brown, Saverio Bettinelli, Henry Ince Blundell, Francesco Algarotti, Ugo Foscolo and Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi.
