Title: Parole wordsworthiane. George Eliot e la “rational sympathy”
Authors: Marroni, Michela
Issue Date: 2021
Document Type: Article
Abstract: Se molteplici sono le ascendenze letterarie di George Eliot, non c'è dubbio che l'elaborata appropriazione della poesia e delle idee di William Wordsworth sul ruolo del poeta nella società abbia un ruolo centrale in tutta la sua opera, a partire dalla nozione wordsworthiana di “rational sympathy”. Le molte epigrafi che Eliot trasse dalle poesie di Wordsworth testimoniano questa presenza costante, fino agli anni della sua maturità artistica e del successo internazionale dei suoi romanzi.
While it is important to consider George Eliot's complex literary genealogy, her fiction can be regarded as an intertextually elaborate appropriation of William Wordsworth's poetry and ideas on the poet's role in society. It is no exaggeration to maintain that Wordsworth's notion of “rational sympathy” was imaginatively absorbed into her entire œuvre. The many epigraphs Eliot took from Wordsworth's poems are a testimony to a persistent presence of his works and teachings even in her major phase, when she reached her artistic maturity and world-wide fame.
