Summary "Foscolo, Manzoni, Leopardi: saggi" by Arturo Graf is a collection of literary essays written in the early 20th century. This work critically engages with the writings and legacies of significant Italian literary figures, such as Ugo Foscolo, Alessandro Manzoni, and Giacomo Leopardi, while also touching upon broader literary movements and ideas. The essays delve into themes of romanticism and classicism, exploring the complexities of the authors' works and their implications within the context of Italian literature. The opening of the collection presents a reflection on Ugo Foscolo and his novel "Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis." Graf analyzes the depth and psychological complexity of the main character, Jacopo, contrasting his passionate nature with his despair regarding love and political circumstances. Through this analysis, Graf highlights the inherent contradictions in Jacopo's psyche and critiques Foscolo's portrayal of love versus political engagement. The essay serves as an introduction to the recurring themes and analytical style that Graf employs throughout the collection, urging readers to ponder the intricate relationships between emotion, society, and literature.
