Description
Il castone e la gemma. Sulla tecnica poetica di Sidonio Apollinare
In Sidonius Apollinare's style, late-antique Mannerism knows a decadence as exasperated as it is suggestive: themes, topoi and lexical rêveries of a prestigious literary tradition are in fact set in a fragmented but not disarticulated poetic organism, extended to the spasmodic care of the smallest details yet supported by an extraordinarily lucid and calibrated overall design. The present volume proposes to investigate this sophisticated textual Sidonian architecture, highlighting its profitable interaction both with the varied capillary regime that oversees the individual sections of the compositions and their reciprocal relationship, and with the multiple dynamics of inventio and lexical device in which it substantiates a linguistic preciousness fed by a careful study of the diction and the versification technique of the auctores.
