Vincenzo Cardarelli and his Contemporaries: Fascist Politics and Literary Culture

by Charles F. Burdett

Fascist Politics and Literary Culture examines the avant-garde movements which flourished in Italy at the beginning of the twentieth century and which played an important role in the formation of a recognizable Fascist ideology. Many modernist writers and artists became committed supporters of
Mussolini; among them, Vincenzo Cardarelli (1884-1959), whose work is examined here from it growth out of the Florentine avant-garde into an important proponent of Fascist culture.
