Örtmek Enrico Botta: Fate in his eye and empire on his arm (PDF)

Durante la
Early Republic (1776-1815), una serie di poemi epici americani ripresero e rielaborarono i tratti caratteristici del genere epico europeo con lo scopo di creare una modalità narrativa specificamente nazionale. Tali
imitative epics ebbero un ruolo chiave per la definizione dell’impianto culturale e ideologico statunitense, e fra loro
The Conquest of Canaan (1785) di Timothy Dwight e
The Columbiad (1807) di Joel Barlow rappresentano forse i testi più rappresentativi del tentativo americano di nativizzare il genere. Essi definirono in termini letterari il progetto politico e ideologico della nascente repubblica americana e dei “padri fondatori” di creare uno stato-nazione indipendente contraddistinto da ambizioni internazionali. Prima ancora della pubblicazione di testi quali
Moby Dick e
Leaves of Grass, il tentativo di importare e ridefinire l’epica europea ha tracciato un paradigma culturale che, dall’epoca della fondazione repubblicana, e attraverso l’autodefinizione come impero globale, può essere ancora rintracciato oggi.
