But it also investigates the contexts and causes of Whitman's success abroad, in the lives, backgrounds, beliefs, and imaginations of the people who encountered it. Ultimately, it chronicles the evolution of a literature intent on regenerating itself and moving toward modernity. Bernardini gives particular attention to women writers and noncanonical writers often excluded from previous discussions of Whitman's Italian reception. The book is grounded in archival studies and examination of primary documents, which led to a series of noteworthy discoveries. While the main focus is on the Italian literary scene, the history of the reception retraced here is constantly evaluated in relation to other cultures that were also intent, in those same years, on reading and recreating Whitman. Studying Whitman's reception from a transnational perspective shows how many countries were simultaneously carving out a new modernity in literature and culture. In this sense, Bernardini not only shows the interconnectedness of various international agents in understanding and contributing to the spread of Whitman's work, but, more largely, a constellation of similar pre-modernist and modernist sensibilities. This stands in contrast to the notion of sudden innovation: modernity was not easy to achieve, and most of all, it did not imply a complete refusal of tradition. Instead, a continuous and fruitful negotiation between tradition and innovation, and not a sudden break with the literary past, is at the very heart of the Italian and transnational reception of Whitman"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Postrisorgimental encounters : Enrico Nencioni, William Michael Rossetti, and GiosueÌ Carducci -- Luigi Gamberale's lifelong translating enterprise and its impact on the Italian and international reception -- "Whitman has said that which was sprouting in my mind" : Ada Negri's socialist perspective and creative dialogue with Whitman -- "My big sympathy" : Whitman and Gabriele D'Annunzio -- Whitman, Giovanni Pascoli and symbolism : a question of sound -- NEMI, or Sibilla Aleramo : writing about Whitman behind a pseudonym -- The presence of Whitman in the periodical La Voce -- Traveling with Whitman : Emanuel Carnevali and Dino Campana -- Whitman, the futurists and the birth (and death) of free verse -- Cesare Pavese's Whitman : the "poetry of poetry-making". 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x History $x History $y 19th century. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x Appreciation $z Italy. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x History $x History $y 20th century. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x Influence. 600 17 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00039575 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature and transnationalism $z Italy. 650 7 $a Art appreciation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815447 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Literature and transnationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762400 651 0 $a Italy $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Italy $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Iowa Whitman series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032930.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF2551EE477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
