An investigation of various modes of self-expression in 20thcentury
Italian prose fiction (autofictions, regional novel, bildungsroman).
The texts, read in English, represent an overview of literature written
by Italian women from the early 20th century to the present and include
contributions from both peninsular and insular authors. In addition to
the relevant literary and sociopolitical contexts of writing, the
course explores themes such as the negotiation of the right to write,
motherhood and authoring, representation of gender roles, female social
transgression, rebellion, and self-awareness.
