italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Twentieth Century Italian Poetry - A Critical Anthology (1900 to the
Neo-Avantgarde)
Edited by Éanna Ó Ceallacháin
One of the latest publications in the Troubador Italian Series
This anthology makes available a broad selection of modern Italian
poems (in the original language), with detailed interpretative notes
and commentary in English on all texts, and informative critical essays
on individual authors and wider trends.
The volume covers the period from the early years of the twentieth
century up to the 1970s, and focuses primarily on the work of a limited
number of major poets, including Ungaretti, Montale, Saba, Sereni,
Sanguineti, Zanzotto and Rosselli. It also includes several chapters
giving representative texts from a wider range of authors, from
Futurists and Hermetics, to the Neo-Avantgarde.
A key aim of the book is not merely to present the texts, but to
provide tools for the reader to access them, whether through the
elucidation of individual words and phrases or in terms of contextual
information, conceptual maps and interpretative keys (notes are
supplemented by extensive suggestions for further reading). Thus the
anthology seeks not only to open up these poems for the reader on a
level of literal meaning, but also to invite, or indeed demand, a
critical reading of the poems themselves, taking full account of the
specific linguistic and formal richness of the texts in their original
language.
The book is aimed at readers with a good working knowledge of
contemporary Italian.
About the author: Éanna Ó Ceallacháin is Senior Lecturer and Head of
Italian at the University of Glasgow. He has written extensively on the
poetry of Eugenio Montale, and has also published articles on other
aspects of modern Italian poetry, including the work of Sanguineti.
