Talk:The Betrothed (Manzoni novel)

message: At the bottom of this article there's a link with Scott's "Ivanhoe." There may be a connection between the two novels, but in neither this article nor the article on "Ivanhoe" is any connection made explicit.  Is this just an error on somebody's part?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.6.121 (talk) 11:43, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the only error was committed by the guy who threw out the reference to Scott's novels (and "Ivanhoe") as an important influence on  Manzoni. But criminals always leave clues to their crimes! So he forgot to remove the link to "Ivanhoe". If I have time I'll reinsert something on Scott, perhaps copied from the Italian version of this articleCampolongo (talk) 11:15, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sort of did that, but I don't see the link to Ivanhoe, someone muct have cleaned that at some moment. The removal of the Scott part was by an IP address user, alas.  YamaPlos talk 18:35, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

message: There really ought to be a section on Manzoni's debt to Scott. There used to be such a section, until some ham-fisted contributor removed it without discussion. If you look at the corresponding Italian entry this is mentioned. Some qualified person should replace it or rewrite it for this entry.METRANGOLO1 (talk) 10:15, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I went to visit the Italian article, and, boy, is it so much more complete regarding literary analysis, guess we'll never catch up and perhaps we shouldn't try. Yet, the Scott connection is quite relevant for ours, i.e., because related to an English author. And also went see the Ligurian article, starred despite being so brief and having not much more than the irony of doing an other-Italian-language take on that most Italian novel, LOL.
