The essay examines the formation of the canon of twentieth-century Italian literature in school textbooks. It focuses on the literary histories and anthologies historically used during the final three years of high school, from the Gentile Reform of 1923—which introduced the study of the earliest living authors at the turn of the century—up to the present day, spanning an entire century. Its goal is to reconstruct the process by which twentieth-century literature was historicized from the perspective of secondary education, where the question of the canon most urgently arises, in close connection with shifts in critical and methodological orientations within twentieth-century studies and in constant interaction with educational policies, specialist publishing trends, and the social transformations that have taken place.
Il saggio ha per argomento la formazione del canone della letteratura italiana del Novecento nella manualistica per la scuola. Suo oggetto di indagine sono le storie e le antologie letterarie storicamente in uso nel triennio liceale, dalla Riforma Gentile del 1923, che introdusse nei programmi lo studio dei primi autori viventi alle soglie del 1900, fino ai giorni nostri, lungo l’arco complessivo di un secolo. L’obiettivo è ricostruire il processo di storicizzazione della letteratura novecentesca dalla prospettiva dell’insegnamento secondario, dove con più urgenza si impone il problema del canone, in stretto rapporto con la transizione degli orientamenti critici e metodologici degli studi novecentisti e nella costante interazione con le politiche dell’istruzione, le tendenze dell’editoria di settore e le trasformazioni intercorse nella società.

Abstract
The essay examines the formation of the canon of twentieth-century Italian literature in school textbooks. It focuses on the literary histories and anthologies historically used during the final three years of high school, from the Gentile Reform of 1923—which introduced the study of the earliest living authors at the turn of the century—up to the present day, spanning an entire century. Its goal is to reconstruct the process by which twentieth-century literature was historicized from the perspective of secondary education, where the question of the canon most urgently arises, in close connection with shifts in critical and methodological orientations within twentieth-century studies and in constant interaction with educational policies, specialist publishing trends, and the social transformations that have taken place.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
