The Renaissance in the 19th Century examines the Italian
Renaissance revival as a Pan-European critique: a commentary on and
reshaping of a nineteenth-century present that is perceived as
deeply problematic. The revival, located between historical
nostalgia and critique of the contemporary world, swept the
humanistic disciplines-history, literature, music, art,
architecture, collecting. The Italian Renaissance revival marked
the oeuvre of a group of figures as diverse as J.-D. Ingres and E.
M. Forster, Heinrich Geymuller and Adolf von Hildebrand, Jules
Michelet and Jacob Burckhardt, H. H. Richardson and R. M. Rilke,
Giosue Carducci and De Sanctis. Though some perceived the Italian
Renaissance as a Golden Age, a model for the present, others cast
it as a negative example, contrasting the resurgence of the arts
with the decadence of society and the loss of an ethical and
political conscience. The triumphalist model had its detractors,
and the reaction to the Renaissance was more complex than it may at
first have appeared. Through a series of essays by a group of
international scholars, volume editors Lina Bolzoni and Alina Payne
recover the multidimensionality of the reaction to, transformation
of, and commentary on the connections between the Italian
Renaissance and nineteenth-century modernity. The essays look from
within (by Italians) and from without (by foreigners, expatriates,
travelers, and scholars), comparing different visions and
interpretations.
