This book investigates the representation of the Axis War - the
wars of aggression that Fascist Italy fought in North Africa,
Greece, the Soviet Union, and the Balkans, from 1940 to 1943 - in
three decades of Italian literature. Building on an innovative and
interdisciplinary methodology, which combines memory studies,
historiography, thematic criticism, and narratology, this book
explores the main topoi, themes, and masterplots of an extensive
corpus of novels and memoirs to assess the contribution of
literature to the reshaping of Italian memory and identity after
the end of Fascism. By exploring the influence that public memory
exercises on literary depictions and, in return, the contribution
of literary texts to the formation and dissemination of a discourse
about the past, the book examines to what extent Italian literature
helped readers form an ethical awareness of the crimes committed by
members of their national community during World War II.
