Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di G. Oliva.Lanciano, 2018; br., pp. 390.(La Biblioteca del Particolare). «Era bello, di una bellezza gentile e nervosa, socievole ma anche riservato» - hanno scritto di lui i suoi contemporanei -, Romualdo Pàntini (1877-1945), conterraneo di D'Annunzio e fiorentino d'adozione, anzi cosmopolita, è personalità epigonica ma complessa, l'espressione decadente dell'arte totale. Pàntini è la testimonianza concreta delle inclinazioni più vitali presenti nella poesia dell'Italia a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, aperta alle correnti d'oltralpe ma non disgiunta dalle radici classiche della tradizione. Peraltro, quest'edizione (uscita per la prima volta nel 1975 e ora riproposta), ha fatto da battistrada nel corso degli anni a una serie di studi che hanno permesso di ricostruire una stagione importante e variegata della nostra cultura tra letteratura e giornalismo, quella che oggi non a caso viene definita l'Italia dei «nobili spiriti». Libro.
