• Resumen

  • This essay intends to show the editorial policy adopted by «Il Conciliatore» in accordance with its romantic poetics. The idea was the publishing of serious essays together with ironic tales, short stories, apologues, anecdotes. The main target was a new audience of middlebrow people and women, above all, which explains a certain propensity for the sentimental novel. The editors as well as the contributors to «Il Conciliatore» saw a close connection between literature and society. In its European perspective «Il Conciliatore» meant to spread civil virtues in a plain and easy style in contrast with the linguistic choices of Classicism and of the Vocabulary of the Crusca.
