Alcune note su una “donna ispiratrice” tra Italia e Grecia: Margherita Albana Mignaty

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We cannot separate research on Margherita Albana Mignaty from a critical reading of her works and the socio-cultural context in which she lived. The portrait that Eduard Shuré presents in Inspiring Women highlights Margherita Albana’s charm and influence on the French writer. Her Hellenic identity is essential for understanding the processes of artistic and literary criticism that she develops in her works. It is particularly significant that there is a tendency to attribute ideas and works present in later artists to Hellenic influence, even without logical or historical justification. The esoteric approach through which Albana analyzes works of art and literature, alongside historical figures such as Caterina da Siena, makes her a nearly unique example among Italian women writers and scholars.
