Resumen
This essay is meant to revisit the relationships between some protagonists of the nascent Italian Romanticism and Ugo Foscolo who was one of the best known Italian authors of his time, recognized as a maestro and a guide by the younger writers in their literary novitiate. This led to an open misunderstanding not only due to strictly literary reasons, but also to the political and cultural rift determined by the new early Risorgimento ideological bent. Neither conciliation nor active collaboration was possible between Foscolo, an exile in England, detached from the Italian early Restoration cultural and political situation, and the new romantic writers fully involved in their strong militant engagement against the most committed and determined classicists. The present essay will deal with Foscolo’s most significant writings among those he published on this matter in the major English magazines
