Teoria e storia della novella moderna

• 
• Open Access Series

•  Peer Reviewed

The series proposes a new way of studying the modern novella, connecting its ideological content and forms with the publishing context of production and reception, as well as with Italian history between the 1870s and 1930s. Compared to traditional literary history, the volumes in the series will give priority to the relationships within the journalistic polytext and the dialogue between short narrative and other models of textuality such as fait divers and reportage, as well as with illustrative apparatuses. The aim is to point a spotlight on the specific publication space of the novella, the concrete system of interactions among the various actors (authors, publishers, illustrators, editors of cultural pages, readers) thanks to whom the narrative text takes shape, amidst aesthetic drives and more or less internalised market demands, on the assumption that the publishing system influences a priori the very creativity of authors, forcing them to identify in advance original expressive solutions.

Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to the series editors,riccardo.castellana@unisi.it, isotta.piazza@unipr.it,massimiliano.tortora@uniroma1.it.
