abstract

This article aims to study the characteristics of Vittoria Aganoor’s poetics and philosophy by focusing on the ways in which the poetic self is represented using the figure and myth of Sappho. The investigation will be carried out through the study of two poems, “Tentazione” and “L’ultimo canto di Saffo”, written in two different periods: the former published in Leggenda eterna, Aganoor’s debut collection, and the latter among the scattered verses published posthumously in Poesie complete. After considering the presence of Sappho in Italian letters between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with special attention to multiple associations with women writers, what is deduced from the analysis of the two poems will be placed in relation with some of Aganoor’s correspondence and with the well-known reading at the Collegio Romano to trace leitmotivs and impressions concerning the metapoetic discourse of the Paduan poet, between self-representation and programmatic reasoning.
