«L’amante delle cose»: su natura, arte, scrittura nei Taccuini

Abstract

The writing of the Taccuini expresses d'Annunzio's tension to appropriate ‘things’, to decipher their language and to bring out their full-bodied evidence, achieving results comparable to the highest ones of his poetry. Starting from this persuasion, the present contribution highlights as the primary tool of this perceptive ability and of the poetics that is based on it is for the writer the body, which however in the transformations to which it is subject conditions and limits this ability and over time it loses it, precisely because of the particular visionary intensity that characterized it. It is a parable that must be read as internal to the biographical path of the writer (illness, old age), therefore interpreted without the ideological and moralistic conditionings that still weigh on a correct collocation and understanding of d’Annunzio's experimentalism.
