Editor's Note:
Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1930, "La carne, la morte e il diavolo nella letteratura romantica" è ormai un classico degli studi letterari e costituisce una vera e propria pietra miliare nel campo della critica tematica. Percorrendo la letteratura inglese, francese e italiana dell'Ottocento, Mario Praz studia i tratti distintivi dell'estetica decadente nella cultura europea: l'evoluzione dell'idea di bellezza, spesso associata all'idea di morte; il tema della corruzione e della tristezza; la ricorrenza di personaggi satanici; la figura sadica della "femme fatale"; la fascinazione per la lussuria, il vizio e l'esotismo; la sensualità della parola. Un saggio anomalo, moderno, nel quale il pensiero critico si nutre di sottili intuizioni e la letteratura diventa appassionata esperienza.
