El 'yo' en los 'Canti': preliminares al estudio de una figura textual (I). La ficción autobiográfica y la instancia del 'yo' lírico.

Abstract

Throughout the history of the hermeneutics of the lirical work defined as canzonieri, autobiographical fiction has largely proved to be both a clue and a hindrance to their sound criticism. This has been very much the fortune of Leopardi's Canti, mostly seen as a sheer diagram of the author's career. First part of an eventual series of two, the article amphasizes the role of the lyric-self as structurer and coherer in Leopardi's collected poems, and drives attention to its paradoxical nature as a source of poetic creation.
