Il patto col serpente. Paralipomeni di «La carne, la morte e il diavolo nella letteratura romantica»
A critical book that extends Mario Praz's earlier work by tracing the line of imagination and decadence after Romanticism. Its method of turning close observation into a network of relations moves across both literature and art.
