Item Open Access Poetic Inspiration and the Ethics of Writing as a Source of Higher Narrative in Cervantes and Manzoni(Pearson Education, India, 2010) Lollini, Massimo, 1954-This essay addresses the problematic nature of the elevated style within the modern novel; it focuses on Cervantes' Don Quixote —a fundamental point of reference for modern and post-modern theories of the novel— and on Manzoni’s The Betrothed, one of the greatest European novels of the nineteenth century. The author discusses two opposing readings of Cervantes’ elevated style, Auerbach’s and Pirandello’s; then, he introduces the Romantic theory of the novel, the question of ‘poetic inspiration’ and the ethics of writing in Manzoni’s The Betrothed.
