Silvio Pellico ha composto nel corso della propria vita diverse cantiche di ambientazione medievale, rispecchiando il gusto e lo stile della cultura romantica di cui è stato in Italia uno dei principali esponenti. In questo senso è evidente il debito del Pellico nei confronti del Berchet e della sua nota romanza "Il trovatore" in cui il protagonista, innamoratosi della signora del castello in cui vive, se ne allontana per non tradire la fiducia del proprio padrone e non compromettere la donna amata. Allo stesso modo il giovane Adello, abbandonata l'Italia per approdare alla corte dell'imperatore Ottone sulle rive del Reno, si innamora di sua figlia Eloisa, ma parte per la guerra, dopo essersi lasciato sfuggire la confessione dei propri sentimenti, per non compromettere Eloisa. Questa edizione fa parte del progetto di ripubblicazione di tutte le opere minori del Pellico, corredate da nuove introduzioni storiche e, se possibile, trascritte dagli originali. In appendice le foto del manoscritto del Pellico.
Silvio Pellico (24 June 1789 - 31 January 1854) was an Italian writer, poet, dramatist and patriot active in the Italian unification. His tragedy Francesca da Rimini was brought out with success by Carlotta Marchionni at Milan in 1818. Its publication was followed by that of the tragedy Euphemio da Messina, but the representation of the latter was forbidden. Pellico had in the meantime continued his work as tutor, first to the unfortunate son of Count Briche, and then to the two sons of Count Porro Lambertenghi [it]. He threw himself heartily into an attempt to weaken the hold of the Austrian despotism by indirect educational means.
