FERNANDEZ ZAMBUDIO, Josefa. Rome in Ida Vitale’s Poetry: Language, Literature and Civilization. Nova tellus [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.2, pp.161-176.  Epub Dec 09, 2020. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2020.38.2.0007.

In this paper we focus on significant examples of the dialogue between the uruguayan poet Ida Vitale and the Roman World. We explore her reception of Rome through Latin Language and Roman Literature, Religion, Society, History and Archaeology. These elements are linked to the search of an accurate expression. The lack of studies on Ida Vitale, especially on Classical tradition, and the contextualization in her Poetics justify our contribution itself.

Keywords : Classical Tradition; Ida Vitale; Latin American Literature; Civilization.
