20th-Century Literary Criticism in France and Italy

Edited by Stefano Lazzarin and Mariella Colin

Presses Universitaires de Caen, 2007

This volume gathers contributions stemming from a conference held in Caen, reflecting ongoing academic discussions surrounding literary scholarship in the twentieth century. Comparative approaches between French and Italian traditions have long provided a rich framework for examining shifting paradigms in aesthetic theory, critical methodology, and textual analysis within Romance philology. Scholarly exchanges across these neighboring linguistic cultures have frequently illuminated parallel developments in structuralism, stylistics, and the philosophy of language during the modern era.

Readers interested in the history of European literary scholarship and cross-cultural academic dialogue may find this publication relevant.
