Abstract
With its scholarly tradition in both Classical and Romance philology, Italy has greatly influenced the maturing of some key concepts of modern scholarly editing. Home of influential Humanists, it has witnessed the recovery of many Classics and their philological treatment by means of various kinds of emendatio. More recently, the social and cultural implications of textual transmission have been put in greater relief from several viewpoints, by means of a closer attention to the historical materiality of literary artifacts, both manuscript and in print (the latter’s study was prompted in the 1980s by stronger connections with the Anglo-American world. Inspired by some postgraduate lecture series held in Toronto in Fall 2023 as Goggio visiting faculty, this book reflects more generally my experience of dialogue with the tradition of American Textual Studies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
