Theoretical, Literary and Æsthethic References to Enlightened Epic in the Correo de Sevilla (1806): about Virgil, Tasso and Milton Reading
Los referentes teóricos, literarios y estéticos de la épica dieciochesca en el Correo de Sevilla (1806): a propósito de la lectura de Virgilio, Tasso y Milton
Résumé
This paper studies the theoretical, literary and æsthetic references in the epic poetry published in the journal Correo de Sevilla (1806), where it appeared a comparison between Virgil and Tasso, besides a curious biography of John Milton. As a consequence of reading Juan Andrés’ masterpiece Origen, progre‑sos y estado actual de toda la literatura (1784-1806), two articles were published, one of them by Manuel María de Arjona. He analyzes Virgil and Tasso’s style and reveals the matter of keeping epic poetry as a literary genre through an emotional reading following the theorical rules.
