Per una storia della riflessione teorica sulla traduzione in Italia. La sfortuna di Shakespeare

Abstract

The essay attempts to explain the modest popularity of Shakespeare in 18th and 19th century Italy, pointing out the role of a myth which posited the superiority of Italian language and culture in Europe which favoured the isolation of Italian theorizing on translation in comparison with other contexts.
