Imitare l’‘inimitabile’: nuovi appunti sulle parodie dannunziane

Abstract

The parodic attention to d’Annunzio’s poetry and prose has been timely, rich and of various kinds. Following a chronological path, the essay examines the most significant texts in this field, with particular attention paid both to the most successful parodies (e.g. Luciano Folgore, Paolo Vita Finzi, Aldo Palazzeschi, Eugenio Montale) and to those that are still little-known and overlooked by the critics.
