Overview
Looking at five of Italo Calvino's often neglected early novels:The Young People of Po,The Cloven Viscount,The Baron in the Trees,The Non-Existent Knight, andThe Watcher, Eugenio Bolongaro argues that these works, written between 1948 and 1963, contain a sustained meditation on the role of the intellectual and on the irreducible ethical and political dimension of literature. This meditation provides an insight into a crucial moment in Calvino's development as a writer, and allows Bolongaro to lay the groundwork for a more 'political' reading of Calvino's later work.
Italo Calvino and the Compass of Literaturefirmly situates Calvino within his historical context - the cultural revival of post-World War II Italy - by relating these early novels to Calvino's political and critical writings which played an important role in the cultural debates of the time. This approach provides a key to understanding Calvino's work in a new light, ably demonstrating that Calvino's full literary significance cannot be understood in isolation from the politics and cultural movements of the period. One of the few book-length English-language works on Calvino's early writings,Italo Calvino and the Compass of Literaturwill prove to be an indispensable tool to Italianists and literary studies scholars.
