I’m curious about Giacomo Leopardi. I know he is considered one of the most prominent Italian writers of the romanticism literary movement in the 19th century. But everything I learn about him seems to counter this point. His pessimistic view of nature, labeling it destructive, his bleak take on human suffering, his irony and political discourse. What exactly about him embodied the romantic characteristics?
He was an extraordinary thinker. I recommend getting a well-curated and in-depth biography. Giacomo Leopardi will fascinate and teach you a lot. Thanks for the comment on my post. Take care.
