Veronese (Italian literature, U. of Birmingham) integrates conclusions of previous studies and folds them into her own analysis of why Leopardi (1798-1837), though widely acknowledged as a great scholar and poet, was rejected by leading Italian literary figures. The problem was not his pessimism per se, she argues, but the anti-metaphysical and materialist undertones in his work. She discusses his work and the response to it against the political and nationalist context of his time. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
