DIALOG OF HISTORY AND LITERATURE: FRANCESCO FERRUCCI IN THE STUDY BY V. K. PISKORSKY AND THE NOVEL BY F. D. GUERRAZZI
Abstract
The paper aims to identify the specifics of the figure of the Italian military leader of the 16th century, Francesco Ferrucci, as a historical figure and a novel character. Using the method of comparative analysis, the author draws as the materials of research a scientific monograph by the Russian historian V. K. Piskorski and a historical novel by the Italian romantic writer F. D. Guerrazzi. The last years and the fall of the Florentine Republic, 1527 – 1530, are considered as the main period of the comparative study of the figure of Ferrucci. The critical aspects of the personality of Francesco Ferrucci and the specifics of their representation in the scientific monograph and the historical novel are considered. The novelty and relevance of this work consist in a lack of study of the works of Italian writer of Romanticism F. D. Guerrazzi in the Russian literary criticism, in particular, of his central novel – "Siege of Florence", the main character of which is considered to be a heroic military leader and defender of the Florentine Republic Francesco Ferrucci. Thus, as a result of this work the main specific features of the figure of F. Ferrucci as a historical personage and a literary character, conditioned by the genre specifics of the Italian historical novel of Romanticism, were identified.
