Summary:

The essays in this collected volume explore various aspects of Giuseppe Baretti, a key figure of the Italian Enlightenment, focusing on his personality and works, as well as the English environment that shaped his life. Attention to the transnational dimension of his activity provides original insights, highlighting the importance of the network of Italian exiles with whom he established close contacts in London and the debate that placed him at the heart of the European intellectual scene. From his trial for murder to Mario Manlio Rossi's interpretation of his activities and writings, from the Dictionary of the English and Italian Languages to the Frusta Letteraria and other linguistic and literary works, the collection is filled with intellectuals, artists, and musicians who inhabit Baretti's universe. The backdrop is eighteenth-century London: populous, multicultural, and constantly on the move.
