In addition to intertextual links that are established on the vertical axis, within Manganelli’s authorial corpus, these volumes can therefore also be studied by taking into account horizontal intertextuality based on typological parallels. Manganelli’s interest in anglophone literature here comes into play. In the light of thetopic of this paper, literary expression in the English language caught Manganelli's attention also in the volume De America [On America, 1999]

. This edition reunites the essays on the literature of the United States due to the fact that Manganelli had studied Anglo-American writers, and had taught for various years English literature at the university level

. He was also a translator of works by Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Stearns Eliot, William Butler Yeats

, Henry James etc. CONCLUSION Manganelli's explorations from the volume Salons, alongside his other writings on the visual arts, are articulated critically and theoretically in the present paper in a way tothematize key concepts, as well as to determine structural qualities influencing the style of writing, and to analyze simultaneously expressional iconographic meaning. Manganelli presents an elaboration of the pictorial material in the register of literature, as if he focused on the literary resonance of his figurative impressions. Analyzed artistic phenomena are captured by Manganelli within a frame corresponding to the history of art, as for compositional reasons. Furthermore, he reflects on what moves the figurative artists in their creations. As for visual artists he writes about, Manganelli comments on the character of their paintings, sometimes including even the constant features and theirvariations from picture to picture. The subjects depicted are treated continuously through Manganelli's texts in a way that iconological patterns and their literaryreflections are whirled kaleidoscopically. In doing so, he is guided by the idea that figurative invention adds something indispensable to aspects of the world. For that reason a personal vision is created, which at the same time doesn’t disregard literary, artistic and sociological references, between which symbolic links are sometimes sought. The author's overall interpretation is dense and encyclopedic, due to itspotentially open structure. In this sense, on some occasions the author develops a ] literary reflection, starting from the ideas narrated, having the value of a story. 5098th SWS International Scientific Conference on Social Sciences ISCSS 2021
