Industrial Literature
Industrial Literature: Bernari, Volponi, Ottieri, Parise
Italy’s economic and industrial growth in the nineteen-sixties also originated an important theoretical and critical debate on the mutual links between literature and society, and literature and economy. The debate also involved the role and the independence and freedom of writers. Such debate is clearly in the background of the works of writers such as Bernari, Volponi, Ottieri, Parise who face, each in his own way and language, the problems of industrial society. The most representative novels of these four writers will be read and discussed during the course.
Required Texts: Carlo Bernari, Tre operai (1934), Firenze, la Nuova Italia, 1970. Ottiero Ottieni, Donnaruma all’assalto (1959), Milano, Garzanti, 2004. Paolo Volponi, Memoriale (1962),Torino, Einaudi, 2007. Goffredo Parise, Il padrone (1965), Torino, UTET, 2007.
Critical bibliography: Letteratura e industria, a cura di Roberto Tessari, Bologna, Zanichelli, 1976
