Question
In a novel by this author, two characters’ epileptic attacks are juxtaposed with the image of a procession of “horrors of the human flesh,” on pilgrimage to see the Madonna of Casalbordino. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this Italian author who wrote of the lovers George and Hippolyte in The Triumph of Death, the last entry in their cycle Romances of the Rose. Eleonora Duse starred in the premiere of this author’s play La Gioconda.
ANSWER: Gabriele D’Annunzio
[10e] D’Annunzio modeled George on an archetype first presented by this author. D’Annunzio’s misreadings of this author are similar to those presented in The Will to Power, which was attributed to this author.
ANSWER: Friedrich Nietzsche [or Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche] (The archetype is the Übermensch.)
[10h] On the other hand, D’Annunzio modeled Ippolita on his lover Elvira Fratenelli, whom he nicknamed with this word. The Triumph of Death was influenced by a set of Giosue Carducci “Odes” titled for this word, which includes “By The Sources of Clitumnus.”
ANSWER: barbarians [or barbaro or barbara; accept word forms like barbaric; accept Barbara Leone; accept Barbarian Odes or Odi barbare] (It can be asserted that d’Annunzio developed Nietzsche’s theories of the Übermensch into something like a cult of the barbarian—Alberto Asor Rosa calls his ideology “barbaric populism.”)
