Carlo Goldoni and the Construction of Authorship on the Printed Page / L. Braida. - In: QUAERENDO. - ISSN 0014-9527. - 50:3(2020 Aug), pp. 241-265. [10.1163/15700690-12341468]
Abstract:
The transformation of a play composed for the stage into a text printed to be read
is a complex operation often mentioned by the playwrights themselves in the prefaces
to the editions of their works. The printed publication could become the ‘place’
for perfecting what was performed on stage but it could also, for some authors, become
a ‘place’ in which they defended their authorship through the control of the
editions, even going so far, in the case of Carlo Goldoni (Venice 1707-Paris 1793), as to
break the rules of the book trade. The author attempts to show how the construction
of Goldoni’s authorship can be analyzed on three different levels: the expression of
the author’s will; his claim for the right to publish his works himself and finally the
representation of the figure of the author with the use of a different portrait for
each edition.
