Twilight Poetry, Sergio Corazzini, Giulio Gianelli, Guido Gozzano, Woman, Female portrait.
Abstract
This paper discusses the view of women that three exponents of the Twilight poetry (“crepuscolarismo”) —Sergio Corazzini, Guido Gozzano and Giulio Gianelli—, offer in their poems in the early twentieth century in Italy. We provide a comparison of the main female portraits given in their texts, highlighting the cultural contexts of that the three poets are heirs as well as the one in which they live. The female images that appear in their poems are a leading example of the historical attributes that define the Twilight movement and allow an approach to the breakpoint / overcome of the canons of the ageDownloads
