AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important first edition of Mario Praz's most famous work, published in 1930 by the Milan-Rome publishing company La Cultura. The volume constitutes one of the fundamental texts of Italian literary criticism of the twentieth century and the study through which Praz developed one of the most original interpretations of the romantic and decadent sensibility.

In Italy the work subsequently underwent a new revision: the expanded second edition, issued in 1942 by Einaudi. The first edition of 1930 thus represents the work's first appearance in its original form.

The copy offered here belongs to a numbered edition and is marked with the number 94/1000

yellowed pages, with widespread foxing; browned edges. Normal signs of conservation and aging of the paper.
