{"product_id":"the-great-war-and-the-luca-somigli-9780692556580","title":"The Great War and the Modernist Imagination in Italy: Annali d'italianistica","description":"The 17 essays of this volume aim to investigate the transformative impact of the WWI on all aspects of cultural life, while remaining rooted in the specificities and particularities of Italy. By the early 1910s, as the modernist innovation intensified, its language turned increasingly to war and violence, as evidenced by the 1909 Futurist manifesto, a text that exuded aggressiveness and famously declared war \"the sole cleanser of the world\" (Marinetti). At the same time, the war put into question the role of the modern intellectual. Ultimately, the ability to verbalize or visualize war determined the status of the artists and their capacity to understand, confront and survive the forces of modernity that they had helped to unleash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luca Somigli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692556583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692556580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Annali D'Italianistica, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Luca Somigli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059522826495,"sku":"9780692556580","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_471cf684-8906-4c01-905b-ada3bf999388.jpg?v=1685058738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-war-and-the-luca-somigli-9780692556580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
