By exploring selected works from authors such as Deledda, Foscolo, Ungaretti, Bertolucci, and Valeri, Thomas E. Peterson considers the categories of vatic poetry, the feminine voice, and the writings of those situated on Italy's cultural periphery. As practitioners of literary Italian, Peterson argues that these authors are conscious of their role in preserving both language and tradition during a period of great upheaval and national transformation. At the same time, they use their writings to move towards change, combat alienation, and reconfigure the self in relation to the community. In treating the act of authorship in terms of its cultural and didactic significance, Peterson successfully bridges the gap between traditional literary critical monographs and the trend toward cultural studies. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aItalian literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthorship$xSocial aspects$zItaly$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthorship$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a850.9/008 700 $aPeterson$b Thomas E$g(Thomas Erling),$0920992 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458427403321 996 $aThe revolt of the scribe in modern Italian literature$92065702 997 $aUNINA
