saggi sulla narrativa italiana moderna e contemporanea

Le ideologie del testo

This groundbreaking study of Gadda's narrative form identifies Gadda's complex 'baroque' style as not merely an aesthetic conceit, but an expression of modern alienation and of loss, grief, and the need for solitude in the face of a fragmented reality.

Eight essays collected by Dombroski (graduate school, CUNY) support the view that Gramsci's ideal of a national-popular literature has now finally been realized in Italy. Contributors discuss the development of contemporary theater despite age-old writer-actor conflict; literature's place in society; the impact of literary magazines on literary ideologies; recent poetry; a comparative view of the Italian postmodern; pulp fiction; and Italian cinema since the 1950s. Lacks background information on the contributors and an index. Distributed in the US by Griffon House Publications. c. Book News Inc.
