This article presents a study of "The Cap and Bells", one of the less commented poems of Keats, and proposes a reading of the work as a parody of the various kinds of travel: on foot, in a coach, in the air, for religious purposes, as also of different typologies of travellers: the radical, the philosophical or scientific and the artistic traveller.
In questo lavoro viene presentata una lettura di un testo poco studiato del canone keatsiano, "The Cap and Bells", per proporne una nuova lettura come parodia della moda del viaggio e delle varie tipologie di viaggiatori al tempo di Keats. Il saggio identifica non solo la parodia dei viaggi a piedi, con calesse, e nell’aria, ma anche la parodia del viaggio religioso, e di viaggiatori quali il viaggiatore radicale, quello filosofico o scientifico, e quello artistico.

Abstract
This article presents a study of "The Cap and Bells", one of the less commented poems of Keats, and proposes a reading of the work as a parody of the various kinds of travel: on foot, in a coach, in the air, for religious purposes, as also of different typologies of travellers: the radical, the philosophical or scientific and the artistic traveller.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
