Sommario/riassunto

This collection consists of essays and reviews that address social, political, and cultural issues which arose in connection with literature broadly conceived in the wake of World War I, and extending throughout the twentieth century. It covers France, with essays on individual writers and on French intellectuals between the wars; Germany and Romania; and essays on problems of literary criticism that also discuss the history of the novel and the question of 'realism'.
