One of the most celebrated Italian writers of the early Romantic
period, Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827) was known primarily as a novelist,
a poet, and a nationalist. Following the Napoleonic Wars, he lived
in self-exile in England during the last decade of his life. There
he wrote numerous critical essays and collaborated with Lord Byron
and other well-known members of English literary circles. Ugo
Foscolo's Tragic Vision in Italy and England examines an
underexplored aspect of Foscolo's literary career: his tragic plays
and critical essays on that genre. Rachel A. Walsh argues that for
Foscolo tragedy was more than another genre in which to exercise
his literary ambitions. It was the medium for an elaborate
life-long process of self-examination and engagement with political
and literary conflict. By analysing Foscolo's tragic struggles on
and off the stage, Walsh sheds new light on his career and how it
reflects on the important literary and political trends of the
time.
