Abstract
(type = abstract)
My study counters the scholarly commonplace that the end of the Second World War brought about the demise of the Italian Bildungsroman. I argue that instead of a decline, authors Moravia, Saba, Soldati, and Morante reshaped the narrative premise. In contrast to the classical Bildungsroman (in Italian Romanzo di formazione), which narrates a protagonist’s successful integration into society, the postwar variations on the genre focus instead upon a protagonist’s altered state (encapsulated by the Italian term de-formazione). What I call Romanzo di deformazione is a sub-genre in which peer pressure, societal expectations, and family obligations distort the young protagonists’ perception of masculinity and sexuality.
