20th century Italian novels in translation: D'Annunzio, Marinetti, Pirandello, Svevo. Italian literary criticism does not use the term "modernist" in the same way that the Anglo-Saxon tradition does. Some authors locate the beginning of "La modernita" in the 17th century or even earlier, depending on the context. Besides the question of chronology, "modernist literature" translates in Italian in a variety of different ways, often ideologically, aestethically or historically contradictory. In this course we will try to define and locate this evasive Italian version of modernism through the reading of authors such as D'Annunzio, Marinetti, Svevo e Pirandello. Course offered in Italian.
