I trattatisti italiani del concettismo e Baltasar Gracian; memoria letta all'Accademia Pontaniana nella tornata del 18 giugno 1899

<p>In I trattatisti italiani del 'concettismo' e Baltasar Gracian Benedetto Croce explores the Italian theorists of 'concettismo' in relation to the work of Baltasar Gracián. This work originally presented to the Accademia Pontaniana in 1899 delves into the nuances of 'concettismo' a literary style characterized by its wit brevity and the use of conceits. Croce examines the key figures and texts within the Italian tradition that engaged with and developed this aesthetic drawing parallels and distinctions with Gracián's contributions. This study offers valuable insights into the intellectual and literary landscape of the period shedding light on the development and dissemination of 'concettismo' across European thought. It remains a significant contribution to the history of literary criticism and the study of comparative literature.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
