De Sanctis nella tradizione critica catalana

Abstract

Despite the fact that there are very few and partial translations into Catalan of the texts by Franceso De Sanctis, during the twentieth century his works were widely circulated by Catalan writers and critics. Evidence of this is the ample repertoire of book holdings kept in private and public libraries, their critical presence in periodicals and the precise influence these had in the Catalan essay production. The present study draws the main lines of the Desanctisian production in Catalonia, focusing on the role played by Carles Riba, Josep M. Capdevila and Josep Pla.
