| description | This article discusses E.M. Forster’s “Italian narratives”, a literary
corpus that reveals the complexity, the ambivalence, and the richness of Britain’s
relation to the European South. Forster’s narratives present, through the interplay
of their characters, a vast array of approaches and attitudes towards Italian
culture. By making use of a long cultural and literary tradition that depicts Italy as
the bearer of a unique constellation of counter-values perceived at the opposite
spectrum of British ideals, Forster builds a series of narratives dominated by a
game of revulsion and attraction towards the Italian Other, which is characterized
by powerful and contradicting patterns. |
