This module will look at a wide range of novels written over the course of the twentieth century in Italy in an attempt to chart representations of and reactions to the concept of modernity, as well as to examine the implementation and subvertion of related modern narrative innovations in such works. Following a broad introduction to the literary context of the Italian twentieth century, we will proceed thematically, looking at questions of identity, genre (the subversion of typical forms), experimentation, gender and queer narratives.
