Poised between the Mediterranean and the Mitteleuropa, crossroads
of civilizations and seat of vibrant cultural and literary life,
Trieste is now acknowledged as enjoying unrivalled cultural status
amongst Italian cities. This volume, the first comprehensive study
of Triestine literature in English, originally reassesses Triestes
literary identity, paying particular attention to the period
between 1918 and 1954 when local writing became intensely aware of
its local specificity and some of its central motifs came
prominently to the fore. Triestes singular border identity,
mirrored in a variegated literary output, emerges here as laden
with complexities and ambiguities, such as the controversial notion
of triestinita, the ambiguous relation with nationalism,
specifically in its Fascist inflection, and the anxieties generated
by repeated re-definitions of the areas historical borders.
