DLB 114: Twentieth-Century Italian Poets, First Series (Dictionary of Literary Biography, 114)

By Giovanna Wedel De Stasio

This volume covers significant Italian poets who fall into the transitional age during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Generally speaking, the poets emerging during this time period have reacted against the 19th centurys high style and political rhetoric. Though there is a profusion of literary schools and movements, the poets of the period are united by a sense of inertia and spiritual unrest. Many of the various voices that gave expression and artistic complexity to this theme are identified and described in Twentieth-Century Italian Poets. 36 entries include: Ignacio Buttitta, Girolamo Comi, Libero De Libero, Guido Gozzano, Marino Moretti, Ada Negri, Lucio Piccolo, Salvatore Quasimodo, Sergio Solmi, Delio Tessa and Giuseppe Ungaretti.
