Leopardis Werk setzt sich in vielen Facetten und in einer oft tastend-aphoristischen Denk- und Schreibweise mit Fragen von Bildlichkeit und Imagination auseinander. Dabei entsteht eine Gedankenmatrix, die der vorliegende Band über drei Zugänge entfaltet: Er geht Leopardis Ansätzen nach, die Phänomene Bild und Imagination in Canti, Operette morali und Zibaldone zu erfassen, untersucht Bildlichkeit und Visualität in einzelnen Texten Leopardis und beleuchtet den bis in die Gegenwart lebendigen Dialog mit Leopardischer Bildlichkeit in der Literatur vor allem des 20. Jahrhunderts.
