Abstract

This paper considers the dialectics between national decadence and regeneration in d’Annunzio’s Il piacere. It argues that the novel’s fin-de-siècle reception was conditioned by the author’s prior classification as an immoral, anti-national writer in the wake of the poetry collection Intermezzo di rime. This classification determined a reading of d’Annunzio’s debut novel in terms of decadence, while Il piacere itself actually pointed toward a literature of regeneration. The novel staged d’Annunzio’s opposition to his own prior classification, while making claims for a more committed and more internationally relevant model of Italian literature in the context of European modernity.

摘要

本文考察了邓南遮的《Il piacere 》中民族衰落与复兴之间的辩证关系。它认为，这部小说在 20世纪末受到欢迎的条件是作者在诗集《夜曲》之后被归类为不道德、反民族的作家。这种分类决定了从颓废的角度来阅读邓南遮的处女作，而Il piacere本身实际上指向了一种再生文学。这部小说展现了邓南遮对他自己先前分类的反对，同时在欧洲现代性的背景下提出了一种更加坚定和更具国际相关性的意大利文学模式。
