Canti
I Canti raccolgono la produzione in versi di Giacomo Leopardi. La produzione poetica dell'autore e la stessa raccolta sono divisi in tre fasi: la prima fase tratta di temi eroici, delle canzoni del suicidio, temi della natura e sul senso della vita. La voce poetica sembra giungere dall'antico e dalla natura, laddove anche morire diventa necessario per durare poeticamente, l'umanit eroica e decaduta, e l'io ricordo. La seconda fase nominata canti pisano-recanatesi e la terza fase, nominata ciclo di Aspasia, dedicata a Fanny Targioni Tozzetti conosciuta a Firenze, di cui egli s'innamor . Il nome Aspasia si riferisce al suo soprannome.
