Tracce reboriane nei Frantumi di Boine

Giovanni Boine and Clemente Rebora were two young protagonists of the Italian literary scene in the early 20th century: the first was mainly a critic, the second was a poet. The letters written immediately before the WWI testify that there were a great mutual esteem between them. A few weeks before writing the lyrical proses of Frantumi, Boine read Rebora’s Frammenti lirici, his masterpiece: this essay wants to explore the presence of Rebora’s poems inside Boine’s Frantumi, focusing on references and contacts between the two works.
