La prima edizione dei Canti fu pubblicata a Napoli, curata dall'autore, nel 1835. Superficialmente sarebbe potuta apparire un'ennesima raccolta della tradizione classicista italiana. Nulla di nuovo infatti nel contenuto e nel linguaggio. Il pessimismo e la noia sono temi che dall'Ecclesiaste erano apparsi regolarmente nella letteratura occidentale, da quella classica fino al Werther. Le sferzate poetiche contro la decadenza politica e civile della “patria”, le cui prime attestazioni nella tradizione culturale occidentale risalgono ai profeti veterotestamentari, già in Dante e Petrarca ...

The protagonists of the Song of Songs are a woman (identified in one verse as "the Shulamite") and a man, and the poem suggests movement from courtship to consummation.
