Book Description:
|
Italian poetry of the last century is far from homogeneous: genres and movements have often been at odds with one another, engaging the economic, political, and social tensions of post-Unification Italy. The thirty-eight poets included in this anthology represent this literary diversity and competition: there are symbolists, free-verse satirists, hermetic poets, feminist poets, twilight poets, fragmentists, new lyricists, neo-avant-gardists, and neorealists - among many others.
