Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and final part of a monumental series--the first history of the modern Italian novel to appear in English in more than forty years--this volume cov-ers writers from Pea to Moravia. Volume three begins with an exami-nation of three writers, Enrico Pea, Bruno Cicognani, and Aldo Palazzeschi, who moved toward the novel from auto-biographical, regionalistic, or semi-fabulist positions. Three fine artists, Corrado Alvaro, Vitaliano Brancati, and Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, are discussed as representatives of what may appropriately be called the Southern novel. Dino Buzzati, one of the few Gothic novelists Italy has produced, and Carlo Levi, a major intellectual and au-thor of a nonnovel work, are examined next, followed by an analysis of the main work of Carlo Emilio Gadda, the Italian Joyce. Three long essays, on Cesare Pavese, Elio Vittorini, and the cele-brated Alberto Moravia, round out the book.

Download or read book Contemporary Women Writers in Italy written by Santo L. Aricò and published by Univ of Massachusetts Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the range and high quality of their work, Italian women writers have received scant attention from critics, in Italy or elsewhere. All too often, their contributions have gone unrecognized. This collection demonstrates the importance of these writers to the literary world and seeks to bring them the critical attention they deserve. Twelve scholars and literary critics examine some of the best prose produced in recent years by Italian women in a variety of genres, including fiction, journalism, and biography. Among the writers discussed are Anna Banti, Camilla Cederna, Fausta Cialente, Oriana Fallaci, Natalia Ginzburg, Armanda Guiducci, Gina Lagorio, Gianna Manzini, Dacia Maraini, Elsa Morante, Lalla Romano, and Francesca Sanvitale. The topics they address range from love, disillusionment, friendship, and family life to artistic vision and the journalistic novel, to political activism, the condition of women in Italy, and the impact of feminism on Italian culture. Although some of the writers discussed describe themselves as feminists, others do not. Similarly, the contributors to the volume represent a spectrum of critical and political perspectives. What emerges is a series of portraits that reflect the variety, dynamism, and creativity of women writers in modern-day Italy.
