Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sulla tomba paterna, il giovane e impetuoso Edgar Ravenswood giura vendetta contro sir William Ashton, guardasigilli di Scozia, che aveva espropriato la sua famiglia di tutti i possedimenti, compresi il castello e le terre. Sul punto di punire l'usurpatore, Edgar si innamora perdutamente di una giovane donna, Lucia, la quale altri non è che la figlia del suo acerrimo nemico. Per amore della fanciulla, Edgar decide di rinunciare ai suoi propositi di vendetta. Ma la terribile e orgogliosa Lady Ashton, madre di Lucia, è determinata a impedire con ogni mezzo la loro unione. Donna altera, perfida e manipolatrice, Lady Ashton ricorre all’aiuto di una veggente cieca, che suggestiona la ragazza col racconto di antiche leggende e profezie sinistre sulla famiglia Ravenswood. Lucia, fragile e influenzabile, cede alla fine alla volontà materna e acconsente a un matrimonio di interesse. Ma sul suo capo aleggia minaccioso lo spettro della follia. Ambientata nel paesaggio selvatico delle Highlands, nei primi anni del XVIII secolo, questa appassionante vicenda d’amore e morte dai toni shakespeariani mescola sapientemente elementi da tragedia romantica a quelli gotici e tenebrosi attinti dalle leggende popolari dell'antica Scozia. Fonti insanguinate e maledette, torri in rovina, magia, leggende, apparizioni sovrannaturali, accompagnano l’evoluzione della storia d’amore tra i due sventurati amanti e fanno da sapiente contraltare agli eventi storici e politici. Pubblicata nel 1819, la vicenda della sposa di Lammermoor ispirò a Donizetti una delle sue opere più famose e suggestive.

Download or read book The Reality of Women in the Universe of the Ancient Novel written by María Paz López Martínez and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers chapters related to the condition of women in the ancient novel. To broaden the perspective, it integrates not only papers dealing with the Greek and Roman novel as a literary genre in its own right, but also as a historical document involving aspects as diverse as history, archaeology, sociology and the history of law. The twenty-six contributions in this volume have been divided into thematic blocks, based on the different approaches that the authors have adopted to tackle the subject. The first block is about realia – the reality in which the fiction has been conceived. The second block focuses on the legal problems that can be deduced from the plots of the novels. The third block encompasses deals with the Greek and Roman novel from the point of view of classical philology, literary criticism and literary theory, with chapters dedicated to the tradition of the ancient novel, both in our most immediate cultural area (Middle Ages, Spanish Golden Age) and in other contexts, whether Indo-European (India, Persia) or of a different origin.
