"The place I think I am entitled to, I can no longer conquer". Alba de Céspedes, The Canon and Remorse

« Il posto che penso mi spetti non potrò più conquistarlo ». Alba de Céspedes, il canone e Il rimorso

Sabina Ciminari

Résumé

Ten years after the publication of the Meridiano dedicated to Alba de Céspedes, a new season of critical interest around her figure has blossomed thanks in part to the recent republication of her most successful novels ('(‘Nessuno torna indietro’, ‘Dalla parte di lei’, ‘Quaderno proibito'). While the entry of these works into the canon of twentieth-century Italian literature should be beyond dispute, as should Alba de Céspedes's importance in post-war fiction, a grey area still seems to hover over her later narrative production, starting with the great absentee from the Meridiani volume: 'Il rimorso', published in 1963. The last novel written in Italian by the writer, which intertwines in it the form of letters and diary, actually constitutes an essential moment in her poetic evolution, as well as a point of no return with regard to her decision to gradually abandon the Italian cultural milieu in favour of France, where 'Il rimorso' obtained such critical acclaim as to make her Italian publisher suspicious. The novel will be read, therefore, in the light of the evolution of the writer's imagination and her awareness of suffering exclusion. Drawing on her private writing (letters to the editor and pages from her diaries), it will shed light on Alba de Céspedes' progressive self-positioning well beyond the Italian literary field and, at the same time, on her desire to influence Italian society through pages that are intended to sound like the denunciation of an entire generation. And in particular on that literary society from which she feels, ever more painfully, pushed to the margins.
