Book Description
Poetry. Translation. Dino Campana is without a doubt one of the most striking, dramatic, and exciting figures in Italian literature, and certainly one of the most disputed and controversial. Because this brilliant masterpiece, CANTI ORFICI, occupies such a unique and powerful place in Italian poetry, it is of fundamental importance for twentieth-century Italian literature. Interest in Campana has been growing steadily in the last twenty years, as witnessed by the proliferation of critical and biographical studies, and while translator of this book, Mario Luzi, has defined CANTI ORFICI as "il libro piu libro, piu 'oeuvre' del nostro Novecento" [the book more book, more "oeuvre" of our twentieth century], there are those who are now unabashedly calling Campana one of the greatest poets of the century.

Transnational Modernity and the Italian Reinvention of Walt Whitman, 1870-1945
Author: Caterina Bernardini
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1609387546
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
"This study gauges the effects that Walt Whitman's poetry had in Italy in the period from 1870 to 1945: the reactions it provoked, the aesthetic and political agendas it came to sponsor, and the creative responses it facilitated. But it also investigates the contexts and causes of Whitman's success abroad, in the lives, backgrounds, beliefs, and imaginations of the people who encountered it. Ultimately, it chronicles the evolution of a literature intent on regenerating itself and moving toward modernity. Bernardini gives particular attention to women writers and noncanonical writers often excluded from previous discussions of Whitman's Italian reception. The book is grounded in archival studies and examination of primary documents, which led to a series of noteworthy discoveries. While the main focus is on the Italian literary scene, the history of the reception retraced here is constantly evaluated in relation to other cultures that were also intent, in those same years, on reading and recreating Whitman. Studying Whitman's reception from a transnational perspective shows how many countries were simultaneously carving out a new modernity in literature and culture. In this sense, Bernardini not only shows the interconnectedness of various international agents in understanding and contributing to the spread of Whitman's work, but, more largely, a constellation of similar pre-modernist and modernist sensibilities. This stands in contrast to the notion of sudden innovation: modernity was not easy to achieve, and most of all, it did not imply a complete refusal of tradition. Instead, a continuous and fruitful negotiation between tradition and innovation, and not a sudden break with the literary past, is at the very heart of the Italian and transnational reception of Whitman"--
