In his Wilhelm Tell Schiller provides the audience with an extremely accurate representation of the topography in which the plot of the drama unfolds. The symbolic function of the alpine setting achieves coherence with Schiller's theories on the aesthetic effect of dramatic writing. Schiller further specifies such symbolism in counterposing the alpine setting with the Italian topography, which the protagonist identifies in his exchange with Johann Parricida as the ultimate step of a fatiguing process of purification from the duke's evil deeds. This essay explores this connection within the framework of the topographical turn and its reflection in the field of literary theory.
Nel finale dell'opera Tell indica a Parricida la via dell'Italia come un percorso di possibile redenzione. La topografia del viaggio verso il Sud è resa in termini spirituali, con un'insistenza particolare su aspetti molto vicini all'ambito delle passioni tragiche. Il saggio indaga questa costellazione servendosi anche degli strumenti ermeneutici propri del "topographical turn".

Abstract
In his Wilhelm Tell Schiller provides the audience with an extremely accurate representation of the topography in which the plot of the drama unfolds. The symbolic function of the alpine setting achieves coherence with Schiller's theories on the aesthetic effect of dramatic writing. Schiller further specifies such symbolism in counterposing the alpine setting with the Italian topography, which the protagonist identifies in his exchange with Johann Parricida as the ultimate step of a fatiguing process of purification from the duke's evil deeds. This essay explores this connection within the framework of the topographical turn and its reflection in the field of literary theory.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
