Italian term or phrase: di maggior respiro
Contesto:

Anche se i criteri di ordinamento delle Bucoliche offrono ancora ampio margine di discussione (ma certe simmetrie sono davvero troppo astratte e sottili), proviamo a tracciare un rapidissimo quadro della stretta rete di rapporti interni che lega i singoli componimenti. La prima egloga contiene un omaggio ad Ottaviano, mentre l’ultima è dedicata a Gallo; e in genere si può notare che alcune egloghe sono costruite in coppia, ma poi sistemate a distanza per gusto di varietas (varietà). La I e la IX egloga contengono entrambe riferimenti alle guerre civili; la II e la VIII rappresentano dei monologhi d’amore, la III e la VII raffigurano agoni poetici di pastori, la IV (vedi 3.1) e la VI si allontanano dai temi "pastorali" per affrontare temi di maggior respiro.

Molte Grazie,

Barbara

Wide-ranging

wide-ranging lands; a wide-ranging discussion."

Or "more universal", which is an adjective that works universally!

Example sentence(s):
  • "Munnery starts to use Kierkegaard’s more well known sayings as a handy jumping off point to explore MORE WIDE RANGING topics, like Vladimir Putin and the fact that William Shakespeare needed to get out more."
  • "In a combination of essays on key towns and chapters with MORE WIDE-RANGING themes, this collection brings together research into the origins, growth and topography of Hertfordshire’s towns."
