Saggi brings together the results of the research activity carried out in 2008 on the PhD course in English and American Studies (Department of Modern Philology, University of Florence). The seven contributions relate to the theatre, narrative, poetry, autobiographical writing and correspondence, and range from the Renaissance up to the present day, offering critical perspectives that go from the analysis of the postmodern identity to the phenomenon of rewriting, from reception theories to comparative studies, and from literary topography to computational linguistics. The heterogeneity of the material illustrates the free choice of the young academics who, in the climate of collaboration that was established, decided to address the technical and editorial aspects of the book as a team in the open access editorial workshop of the Department.

Wer die Berlin-Beschreibungen niederländischer und flämischer Künstler des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts liest, gewinnt den Eindruck, ihre Autoren hätten nicht ein und dieselbe, sondern völlig verschiedene Städte bereist. Die einen schwärmen von einer fortschrittlichen Weltmetropole und Hauptstadt der Avantgarde, andere hingegen nehmen Berlin als Zentrum eines immer noch allgegenwärtigen Militarismus wahr, dritte prangern den Verfall der Sitten an. Die vorliegende Studie greift diesen scheinbaren Widerspruch auf und untersucht exemplarisch vier Prosatexte der Autoren Herman Heijermans, J. van Oudshoorn, Hendrik Marsman und Paul van Ostaijen. Wie stellen sie die Stadt dar? Welche Metaphern verwenden sie? Und wie lassen sich die Texte in der Tradition der europäischen Großstadtdarstellung verorten? Eng am Text arbeitend, nuanciert die Untersuchung anhand zahlreicher Zitate, Kommentare und Hintergrundinformationen nicht nur die bisherige literaturhistorische Einordnung der einzelnen Autoren, sondern setzt sich darüber hinaus kritisch mit der in der niederländischen Philologie verbreiteten These eines verspäteten Aufgreifens des Modernismus auseinander.
