Maria Truglio goes beyond biographically centered speculations, in order to examine an aspect that Pascoli\u0026amp;#x2019;s and Freud\u0026amp;#x2019;s projects have in common, namely a desire to retrace and define origins. Focusing on the uncanny qualities of Pascoli\u0026amp;#x2019;s work, Truglio\u0026amp;#x2019;s argument is new and stimulating.\u0026amp;#x2019; - Mario Moroni, Paul and Marilyn Paganucci Professor of Italian (Colby College)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiovanni Pascoli (1855–1912) is one of Italy\u0026amp;#x2019;s most canonical and beloved poets. In \u003cem\u003eBeyond the Family Romance\u003c\/em\u003e, Maria Truglio offers fresh insight into the uncanny qualities of Pascoli\u0026amp;#x2019;s domestic verse. As suggested by the Freudian title, this study opens a dialogue between Pascoli\u0026amp;#x2019;s literature and Freud\u0026amp;#x2019;s theories, with a particular focus on each author\u0026amp;#x2019;s interrogation of origins. Through close readings and historical contextualization, themes of regression, memory, and other manifestations of \u0026amp;#x2018;origins\u0026amp;#x2019; are analyzed, moving Pascoli\u0026amp;#x2019;s poetry beyond the biographical strictures that have hitherto confined it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTruglio\u0026amp;#x2019;s post-structuralist readings question the dichotomy between \u0026amp;#x2018;safety within the home\u0026amp;#x2019; and the \u0026amp;#x2018;threatening outside world,\u0026amp;#x2019; revealing the ambivalences with which images of the home are fraught in Pascoli\u0026amp;#x2019;s poetry.
