Contemporary Italian literature: the 20th and 21st centuries
The course examines the main authors and literary movements of poetry and fiction in the twentieth century and the first twenty years of the twenty-first century. Starting from a literary historical survey of the avant-gardes, we will focus on the birth of the modern novel, on the forms of realism, on war literature, on the fantastic-surrealist trend and on Neorealism. Greater importance will be given to the new Italian literature starting from the second post-war period, examining the relationship between literature and the Italy of reconstruction and well-being, the neo-avant-garde, the Group 63, the forms of the Postmodern. Finally, the first two decades of the 21st century will be taken into consideration, both in terms of innovation and relationship with tradition.
