L'arte del processo nella narrativa di Anna Banti

Abstract

In 1947 Anna Banti published Artemisia. She decides to keep the events of the Gentileschi-Tassi trial out of this novel, reserving the right to deal with them in the theatrical adaptation of Artemisia (1959). Starting from this consideration, the essay investigates the other two narrative moments in which Banti makes us enter a court: Il bastardo (1953) and Insufficienza di prove (1975).
