Recensione di G. P. Tsomis, Quintus Smyrnaeus. Kommentar zum siebten Buch der Post-homerica, Franz Steiner, Stuttgart 2018, pp. 454.
2021
Georgios T (somis )'s commentary on Book VII of the Posthomericas constitutes a significant, clear and complete aid for readers and scholars of Quintus of Smyrna. The commentary is preceded by an introduction that places VII in the general context of the work and provides some information on the story of the protagonist of this section of the Posthomerica. The comment is divided into several parts that follow the course of the plot: each of them is introduced by narrative-logical premises, followed by a detailed analysis of the text, word by word.
Sul testo del settimo libro di Quinto Smirneo
2021
This paper aims to examine the text of the seventh book of Quintus Smyrnaeus’ Posthomerica, the object of a recent commentary by G. P. Tsomis. Particular attention will be paid to problems concerning textual criticism and exegesis, contained in the book, which recounts the events connected with Neoptolemus’ intervention in the Trojan War. An issue concerning the narrative structure and technique will also be addressed: the poet appears to intentionally imitate Homer not only from a linguistic and lexical point of view, but also in the handling of contemporary events, in which connection Zielinski’s law may be seen as applying to Quintus’ work.

Młodzieńcze eksperymenty Józefa Korzeniowskiego z formą dramatyczną
2015
The status of Józef Korzeniowski’s early dramas oscillates around the historical and literary syntheses of his works (the first of which date back to the 1840s) between a modest position of a technical “rehearsal” and a high rank of an innovative dramatic form. Paradoxically, while the old “defensive” reviews do not sound credible today, the “accusatory” statements – when deprived of their judgmental conclusions – offer inspiring suggestions. They are supported by a superior category of lyricism. Yet, it is not the lyricism that institutes the dramatic genre of the lyrical stage (asthe first critics sympathetic to the poet desired), but the lyricism that is expressed in the subjectivity of …
Debiut... po debiucie - Tomasza Augusta Olizarowskiego
2021
The official literary debut of Tomasz August Olizarowski - highly praised by the first critics - is considered to be a short book of poetry published in 1836 in Kraków, containing two verse novels: Zawerucha. Powieść ukraińska (Zawerucha. Ukrainian novel) and Bruno. Meanwhile, Kórnik Library Stores a booklet signed with the poets name containing two lyrical series of psalms and sonnets, as well as a dumka, probably published as early as 1832 in Lviv. This paper presents the contents of both volumes: from Kraków and Lviv, i.e. the official and the chronologically earlier Olizarowskis debut. It closes with a presentation of the poet’s returns to the issues and forms of his debut, sińce throug…
Problematics of Bonds in Hugh MacDiarmid's Poetry
2012
Hugh MacDiarmid is considered the most important Scottish poet of the 20th century. He is mostly celebrated for the Scots lyrics he wrote in the 1920s and his long poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle, published in 1926. Because of their fragmentation, the poems of the Thirties, most of which were part of the unpublished project Mature Art, and In Memoriam James Joyce (1955), have not attracted the same critical attention. However, they represent the culmination of a very complex stylistic crisis that this study offers to analyse thanks to the question of bonds, especially problematic bonds. The poetry portrays humanity torn by social division, treason and death, but it deals with loss too…

"The wrathful sunset glared...": The Krakatoa Sunsets in Victorian Science and Art
2020
The eruption of Krakatoa on August 27, 1883 was an event both tragic and spectacular. Thousands of lives were lost; sea waves and atmospheric disturbances were detected around the globe. Billions of tons of volcanic ash were thrown into the atmosphere producing multi-coloured sunsets caused by the scattering of light by aerosol particles. The paper discusses the ways in which these so-called Krakatoa sunsets, which were experienced by most of the world, were reflected in Victorian scientific and artistic discourse. The accounts included in the section “Descriptions of the Unusual Twilight Glows in Various Parts of the World, in 1883–84” of the Royal Society report The Eruption of Krakatoa a…
Stratis il marinaio, Mattia Pascal e gli altri: nomi nell’opera di Ghiorgos Seferis
2017
Ghiorgos Seferis (1900-1971), Nobel prize for literature in 1963, is one of the most significant poets of modern Greece. In his work he reconciles reminiscences of classical Greece with the most salient concern of contemporary poetry. Like many other writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Ghiorgos Seferis used various heteronyms in the course of his life. The most significant are ‘Stratis the sailor’ and ‘Mattia Pascal’. Both are rooted in the biographical events of the poet, as well as in his many cultural experiences.
