THE MANUSCRIPT AS A POINT OF ARRIVAL: THEATRE AND NARRATIVE BEFORE LEONIDAS LAMBORGHINI’S TRENTO

Abstract

In the manuscripts of Leonidas Lamborghini's novel, Trento, the comments on the spectator demonstrate the force that acquires the theatrical and narrative dimension in his  work, not only in borrowing the dramatic techniques but especially in considering genres and their) edges. The organization of the Lamborghini’s manuscripts has allowed an exhaustive analysis of the aspects of his narrative works and Trento "dramatic texts" as for director’s indications or scenic formats, and also the conception of spectator/reader in some of his works. A genetic edition based on the search of itineraries that go and come across the generic borders between novel and theatre presents aspects of interest to think not only this Leónidas Lamborghini's particular work but also to think all his poetical and narrative work, for the procedures and formal works of rewriting are persistent along his creation.
