More About This Book

Overview

Unfolding the South presents a new vision of Anglo-Italian cultural relations in the late Romantic and Victorian periods. Responding to recent developments in the fields of literary criticism and art history, the book covers a stimulating range of canonical and non-canonical writers and artists who were inspired by Italy's monumental past and revolutionary struggle for identity. Eleven essays offer new perspectives on well-known figures such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Eliot and Mary Shelley, together with discussions of writers and artists of newly-emerging importance such as Vernon Lee, Theodosia Garrow Trollope, Marie Spartali Stillman and Jane Benham Hay. The essays reassess the inter-relationship between women, art and the Italian peninsula, engaging directly and indirectly with the problematic legacy of de Stael's controversial Corinne, or Italy (1807). Unfolding the South offers an unprecedented generic scope, including travel writing, fiction, art history, poetry, journalism and epistolarity, while topics discussed include aesthetics, politics, religion, the Renaissance and the Risorgimento, social history, art history, spiritualism and science.
