Description

Review Piantanida is to be commended on a thoughtful and fascinating study, and her work deserves to be followed and appreciated. ― Classics for All Product Description Going beyond exclusively national perspectives, this volume considers the reception of the ancient Greek poet Sappho and her first Latin translator, Catullus, as a literary pair who transmit poetic culture across the world from the early 20th century to the present. Sapphos and Catullus reception has shaped a transnational network of poets and intellectuals, helping to define ideas of origins, gender, sexuality and national identities. This book shows that across time and cultures translations and rewritings of Sappho and Catullus articulate modernist poetics of myth and fragmentation, forms of confessionalism and post-modern pastiche. The inquiry focuses on Italian and North American poetry as two central yet understudied hubs of Sapphos and Catullus modern reception, also linked by a rich mutual intellectual exchange: key case-studies include Giovanni Pascoli, Ezra Pound, H.D., Salvatore Quasimodo, Robert Lowell, Rosita Copioli and Anne Carson, and cover a wide range of unpublished archival material. Texts are analysed and compared through reception and translation theories and inserted within the current debate on the Classics as World Literature, demonstrating how sustained transnational poetic discourse employs the ancient pair to expand notions of literary origins and redefine poetrys relationship to human existence. About the Author Cecilia Piantanida is Assistant Professor (Teaching) in Italian at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures of Durham University, UK. Her research focuses on the reception of classical antiquity in modern and contemporary cultures, and the study of metaphors of ‘origins’.
