Abstract
Esta tesis que corona el trabajo realizado durante cinco años para alcanzar el grado de doctor en Filología Italiana lleva por título La ideología de Giambattista Casti a través de su producción literaria. Después de una Introducción en la que se explican las razones que me han llevado a esta elección temática y los objetivos que me planteo alcanzar a lo largo de la investigación —señalar la ideología del abate, descubrir quién se esconde o qué situación se oculta bajo los relatos o bajo los protagonistas animales en sus apólogos políticos—, dedico el capítulo 2 a hacer una presentación del protagonista desde varios puntos de vista. Bajo el título de El poeta y su mundo se tratan diversos aspectos. Se comienza haciendo, en primer lugar, un esbozo biobibliográfico del abate (1724?- 1803) en el que, sin detenerme en los datos habituales como el lugar de nacimiento, estudios, etc. —que no interesaban para el proyecto—, he procurado, en todo momento, fijar mi atención en aquellos otros aspectos que sí eran importantes para el objeto de mi estudio, a saber: viajes que realizó durante su larguísima vida de octogenario por todas las cortes europeas desde San Petersburgo a la Península Ibérica o las personas a las que acompañó o encontró en esos viajes. Personajes, en general, importantes del mundo político o diplomático del siglo XVIII y que, además de influir en él y en su ideología desde un punto de vista personal, le suministraron un alto nivel de información —que pudiéramos llamar privilegiada— a la que, por un camino u otro, el poeta ilustrado siempre tuvo acceso y supo cómo utilizar convenientemente, aunque no siempre en el momento oportuno, hecho que le causó no pocos sinsabores en algunas ocasiones. En segundo lugar, se analizan algunas vicisitudes de su biografía, como la recuperación de una enfermedad venérea, que —no siempre de forma justa— sirvieron para forjar la fama de libertino, que lo acompañó toda su vida, y con la que algunos trataron de justificar sus ataques y críticas peligrosas en lo político...
This thesis is the result of all the hard work of the last five years to achieve the PhD in Italian Philology, it is titled The Ideology of Giambattista Casti through his literary works. The thesis starts with an Introduction where I explain the reasons that made me come to choose this topic of research and the goals that I was expecting to achieve throughout the research (to point out Casti’s ideology, to find out who are the political characters). The episode that follows is dedicated to the introduction of the author from several points of view. Under the title of "The poet and his world" there are several topics discussed. We will start with a generic approach of the abbot's bibliography (1724?-1803). With this approach (where I did not focus on normal data like his birthplace, studies, etc.) I tried to focus on those other aspects that were crucial for my goal, among which we should consider: his trips to all the European courts (from Saint Petersburg to the Iberian Peninsula) or the people he accompanied or met during those trips. Those people were usually renowned politicians or diplomats from the 18th century and who not only were a big influence for him and his ideology from a personal point of view, but also provided him with privileged information that the poet always knew how to use in a convenient way, although sometimes not in the right moment. In the second place, we will analyze some events of his biography, like recovering from a venereal disease (which would make him look dissolute and would also be used by some to attack him)...
