Abstract

After having clarified the biographical and literary context in which Franz Grillparzer undertook his journey to Italy from March to the end of June 1819, the article sheds light on the particular significance of his stay in Naples in his Tagebuch auf der Reise nach Italien. The article shows that the account he gives of his discovery of the city and his ascent of Mount Vesuvius is the result of a double dialogue: on the one hand, with Kant’s analyses of the notion of the Sublime, and on the other hand, with Chateaubriand’s Travels in Italy.
