| Summary: | The critic and literary historian Francesco De Sanctis (1817- 1883) experienced a peculiar period in the history of Italy: the unification of the peninsula. In his Storia della Letteratura Italiana describes and evaluates the historical experience, social and literary of the main names of the Italian literature, establishing a literary canon that will influence the later literary critics and historians. Among the features most valued by De Sanctis to build this canon is the relationship between literary life and social and political involvement of the writer. This study aims to find out how De Sanctis esamines the life and the work of these three important names of italian history and literature: Dante (1265-1321), Maquiavel (1469-1527) and Foscolo (1778-1827). |
