Censorship and Literature in Fascist Italy is the first comprehensive account of how the Fascists attempted to control Italy?s literary production.Guido Bonsaver looks at how the country?s major publishing houses and individual authors responded to the new cultural directives imposed by the Fascists. Throughout his study, Bonsaver uses rare and previously unexamined materials to shed light on important episodes in Italy?s literary history, such as relationships between the regime and particular publishers, as well as individual cases involving renowned writers like Moravia, Da Verona, and Vittorini. Censorship and Literature in Fascist Italy charts the development of Fascist censorship laws and practices, including the creation of the Ministry of Popular Culture and the anti-Semitic crack-down of the late 1930s.Examining the breadth and scope of censorship in Fascist Italy, from Mussolini?s role as ?prime censor? to the specific experiences of female writers, this is a fascinating look at the vulnerability of culture under a dictatorship. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aItalian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCensorship$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublishers and publishing$zItaly 606 $aFascism and literature$zItaly 606 $aPolitics and culture$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aItaly$xCultural policy$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCensorship$xHistory 615 0$aPublishers and publishing 615 0$aFascism and literature 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 676 $a303.3/76094509041 700 $aBonsaver$b Guido$0514589 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456399903321 996 $aCensorship and literature in fascist Italy$92238991 997 $aUNINA
