Lineamenti di letteratura italiana. Con QR Code per sitografia. Vol. 4: Dal Modernismo a oggi

How does one navigate the intricate lines of contemporary literature? How problematic is it, even today, to define certain movements of the last century and to situate works within them? Can we speak of precise temporal boundaries in relation to literary trends, or do such divisions persist in academia mainly to help scholars grasp a chaotic and chiaroscuro period? The “fast” age of the twentieth century—and even more so the “very fast” one of our own days—can at times overwhelm and disorient those who attempt to approach contemporary Italian literature, both in its most accomplished expressions and in its forms still in progress. This small volume therefore aims to be a compass guiding students, teachers, enthusiasts, or the merely curious along the paths of what is currently considered “the latest age” of literature, weaving connections between the lives of men and women who, through their writings, have engaged and continue to engage with publishing dynamics, acceptance or rejection, and evolving canons. The QR code at the end of the bibliography provides access to a rich collection of online resources with further links for in-depth exploration.
