Highlights
The book is thematically divided into four different sections
The intricate attention that Mobilizing Cultural Identities devotes to the Italian front, with three out of eight essays focusing on this scenario, is evident
As stated in the preface, this book should be considered the natural outcome of a workshop of an ERC research project on the interaction between Italian Literature and the Great War. (Pedriali & Savettieri 2020, v) In this sense, Mobilizing Cultural Identities belongs to a new wave of World War I historiography committed to highlighting the importance of ‘forgotten fronts’ such as the Italian one
Summary
The book is thematically divided into four different sections. The first part, titled ‘Political Identities,’ deals with the formation of political identities among intellectuals during the war and in its aftermath, presenting two case studies from the United Kingdom and Italy, respectively. The second section, named ‘Italian Masculinities,’ provides the reader with two inspired contributions by Marco Mondini and Cristina Savettieri on the conceptualization and renegotiation of individual and collective masculinity among Italian soldiers in the trenches, as well as among Italian prisoners of war.
