The Catholic Nation under Liberalism. Perspectives on Religious Unity in Liberal Spain, 1808-1868
2015
El artículo estudia los significados históricos que tuvo la afirmación de la unidad religiosa de la nación española en el liberalismo decimonónico. A partir de las premisas historiográficas que han renovado las reflexiones en torno a las relaciones entre religión, política y nación, los autores analizan la herencia plural de los ilustrados del último tercio del siglo XVIII y el sentido de la homogeneidad confesional de la nación soberana, esbozada por la Constitución de 1812. La confesionalidad religiosa no impidió las posibilidades de emancipación individual. Por el contrario, el primer liberalismo tendió a un reforzamiento mutuo de las identidades religiosa y nacional, al tiempo que confi…

“From Savage to Sublime (And Partway Back): Indians and Antiquity in Early Nineteenth-Century American Literature”
2016
This article examines the comparisons made between Indians and Antiquity in early nineteenth-century American literature (notably in the works of Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper); to do so, it begins by reaching back to references in European and American writings of the eighteenth century. One of the main motivations behind the associations between Native Americans and the Ancient World made in the early decades of the nineteenth century was to “elevate” Indians in order to transform them into worthy symbols of the recently established United States. Such associations also rendered them suitable subjects for treatment by authors inspired to a large extent by the Romantic Moveme…
Arturo Toscanini
2018
Thanks to the new media, i.e., record, radio and TV, Arturo Toscanini was the first conductor known by every kind of public in the world. The essay examines Toscanini’s art of conducting in five crucial issues. The foundation of a supranational repertoire of orchestral music enclosing ancient, modern and contemporaneous authors (from Corelli to Strawinsky). The reform of opera house and the paths of maestro in re-thinking the Italian opera after a deep study of Richard Wagner’s Musikdrama. The impressive use of memory in view of a close control of the orchestra (he conducted by heart over 600 scores). The personal, inelegant but effective gesture, by which Toscanini fascinated orchestras in…
Francesco, Franz, Ritter Franz von Hayez: Zur Rezeption des Romanticismo Storico in der deutschsprachigen Publizistik
2021
After Canova’s death (1822), Italian contemporary art, especially painting, suffered from the widespread topos that Italy as “terre des morts” had frozen in historical self-reflection and therefore did not meet the demands of modern “romantic” art. One of the few internationally recognized exceptions was Francesco Hayez (1791–1882), whose history painting virtuosically combined modern literary subjects with elements derived from the Venetian tradition, such as the gestures of Canova and the colorfulness of Venetian Quattro and Cinquecento painting. His images, which are relevant from a historical, literary but also political point of view, have achieved great success at the regular exhibiti…

Thomas Constantinesco, Writing Pain in the Nineteenth-Century United States
2023
Pain is part of life. It is part of literature as well. And in Writing Pain in the Nineteenth-Century United States, Thomas Constantinesco offers an intelligent, clearly organized, and insightful exploration of various ways in which pain is expressed—or not—through the written word in a selection of American literary works from the 1800s. Constantinesco takes his initial inspiration, in part, from Elaine Scarry’s The Body in Pain, a controversial work published in 1985, which has become recog...
