Summary
Francesco De Sanctis: A History of Italian Literature
This book is the major work of the famous Italian literary historian. So although it often reflects the haste with which it was made, if meticulous critics can find a few real mistakes, this work is unique in the history of world criticism. Its originality and significance lie precisely in the fact that the author, and that is the positive contribution of romanticism, which we talked about, treated life and art inseparably, believing quite correctly that art is the most complete reflection of life and that only life gives us the key to understanding art.
