The history of the literary relations between Italy and England has
its most celebrated early modern representative in Ugo Foscolo
(1778-1827). Foscolo s translation of Laurence Sterne s A
Sentimental Journey through France and Italy is often regarded as
the benchmark of his English experience, but there is more around
and beyond his relationship with Sterne that can be uncovered. With
over 3,000 letters spanning three decades, Foscolo s correspondence
represents a unique perspective from which to monitor his literary,
philosophical, and political views. The Epistolario is also a space
in which Foscolo engages with literary, philosophical, and moral
questions, and a place where he exercises an often private form of
literary criticism. These are letters which ultimately produce one
of the most complete yet most composite self-portraits in the
history of modern Italian autobiography. In the first comprehensive
and historicized reading of Foscolo s correspondence, Sandra
Parmegiani reveals the rich and complex relations between the
Italian writer and the literature, philosophy, and culture of
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England.
