Fascism in Fiction
In the decade or so following the end of the Second World War Pratolini was the novelist who seemed most directly to confront the urgent cultural and political issues of the time, the high point of his role as a focalizer of debate being reached with the publication of Metello in 1955. In fact neorealism and impegno were about to fade or take different forms and his whole approach was soon to feel dated. Metello was cast as the first volume in a …

During the 1960s they seemed to risk being eclipsed by the massive presences of Montale and Ungaretti on the one hand and by the flamboyant performances of the then young Gruppo 63 on the other: hence the somewhat slighting appellation, la ge…
The Myth of Daphne in the Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta
Recently there has been a revival of interest in those parts of the RERUM VULGARIUM FRAGMENTA (RVF) which make explicit reference to the myth of Daphne. The play on Laura's name which connects Laura with the lauro, as well as with l'aura, l'aurora and l'aura, is coming to be seen less as the extreme point of a tendency in Petrarch to arid wit, and more as an integral and important part of the complex thematic patterning of the work.

Petrarch put the Sicilians first in time but suggested that they were last in value; and subsequent criticism has tended to confirm his judgement, granting at best sympathetic recognition to their historical importance. The prevailing attitude may be summarized in the words of Monteverdi: 'quella stessa imitazione [sc. dei Provenzali], anche se talora troppo pedissequa, si risolve in una esperienza utilissima, e riesce in ogni modo a fare per la …
