Montale, the modernist

Montale, the Modernist identifies the Nobel-winning Italian poet as a preeminent modernist practitioner in the first half of his poetic trajectory (1925-1954). Tracing Montale’s literary evolution from symbolism to modernism, and eventually describing the overcoming of his modernist poetics, the seven chapters position the quintessential voice of twentieth-century Italian poetry within a European context, arguing for a new understanding of Montale as a powerful modernist force, alongside such figures as Eliot, Pound, Svevo, Larbaud, and Joyce, with all of whom he was in direct contact.
