Il frammento tra dissoluzione e rinascita: d’Annunzio nel Notturno

Through a path of analysis on the Notturno and its creation process, d’Annunzio’s artistic ability is highlighted in the management of fundamental details relating to the very structure of the text. This essay offers a reading that can refer to the practice of the fragment, which characterises the early twentieth century, in a dialectical tension between the pole of lyric prose – which manages the fragment as a privileged material of a refined stylistic preciousness – and the pole of worship of the word as an announcement of truth, the esoteric and the sapiential.
