Abstract
Strenna Dalmata (1847) is a special supplement to the weekly magazine of Zadar La Dalmazia (1845 – 1847). It was published in early 1847 as a New Year almanac gift to the readers of the saidperiodic related to the previous year, 1846. The almanac brings twenty one previously unpublished texts exclusively written by distinguished Dalmatian intelectuals living in the Province, but by others, too. The essay that is the subject of this paper is the text of Pier Alessandro Paravia, an
intelectual from Zadar. It is about one of a series of lectures of the renowned citizen of Zadar, edited as a text for publishing under the title Del Tirabosco e del suo poema, that Paravia held to his students as a professor at the University of Turin on the subject of Antonio Tirabosco and his didactic poem Uccelagione.The object of the paper is a detailed analysis of the lecture through which the poeticachievements of a little known 18th century poet from Verona are to be defined. The analysis
aims to grasp the general existence and phenomenon of the said didactic style of poetry writing, as well as the literary- aesthetic, and even the stylistic and metric relationship between Paravia, the romanticist, and Tirabosco, the enlightener, i.e., the relationship between two epochs, the earlier one that the author of Uccelagione belonged to, and the subsequent one in the frames of which his critic worked.
