Realtà e magia in Sogno d’un tramonto d’autunno (1898) di Gabriele d’Annunzio

Abstract

The article intends to propose a reflection on the relationship between reality and magic in Gabriele d’Annunzio’s Sogno d’un tramonto d’autunno, published in 1898 and staged in 1905. The magical action, in fact, far from being merely a narrative expedient, lends dynamics to a theatrical text in which the action tends to be off‐stage, and enhances the dreamlike dimension in which the story is set.
