Manzoni's Historical Novel Critiques Injustices
- Manzoni chose to write a historical novel, a genre popularized in the 1800s by Walter Scott, focusing on portraying specific eras and their impact on characters' lives rather than major historical events. By using this genre, Manzoni could freely express himself without adhering to strict rules, aiming to represent reality in a more accessible language. In "The Betrothed," set in Lombardy in the 1600s under Spanish rule, Manzoni critiques the injustices of his own time under Austrian domination in the 1800s, blending historical accuracy with elements of fantasy like the story of Renzo and Lucia, while incorporating real historical figures like Cardinal Borromeo and the nun from Monza.
