This collection draws on cutting-edge work that crosses traditional
disciplinary boundaries to offer new perspectives on the importance
of visuality and the imagination in the work of Luigi Pirandello,
the great Italian modernist. The volume re-examines traditional
critical notions central to the study of Pirandello by focusing on
the importance of the visual imagination in his poetics and
aesthetics, an area of multimedia investigation which has not yet
received ample attention in English-language books. Putting
scholarship on Pirandello in conversation with new work on the
multimedia dimensions of modernism, the volume examines how
Pirandello worked across and was adapted through multiple media. It
also brings Pirandello into a cross-disciplinary dialogue with new
approaches to Italian cultural studies to show how his work remains
relevant to scholarly conversations across the field. The essays in
this collection highlight the ways in which Pirandello is engaged
not only in literature and theatre but also in the visual arts,
film, and music. At the same time, they emphasize the ways in which
this multimedia creativity enables Pirandello to pursue complex
philosophical thoughts, and how scholars' interpretation of his
works can provide new insights into problems facing us today.
Crossing from aesthetics and a study of modernist notions of
creative imagination into studies of multimedia works and
adaptations, the volume argues that Pirandello should be understood
as a thinker in images whose legacy can be felt across the arts and
into the realm of 21st-century theories of literary cognition.
