Description

This volume offers a critical examination of Luigi Pirandello's newly discovered archival materials and marginalia preserved at Università degli Studi Roma Tre. Focusing on the period between 1898 and 1922, when Pirandello taught Linguistics and Stylistics at the Istituto Superiore di Magistero Femminile in Rome, the collected essays explore his multifaceted creative process. The research centers on ink drawings, caricatures, and doodles executed directly onto official examination records during lengthy academic sessions, revealing an unexpected visual dimension of his intellect. These graphic elements—ranging from anthropomorphic figures to symbolic rebuses—interact dynamically with his literary themes of humor, the double, and existential fragmentation. Furthermore, the catalogue documents hand-decorated book bindings and contextualizes Pirandello's engagement with Roman academic culture, early 20th-century female education, and European intellectual networks. Ultimately, this work provides updated insights into the interplay between image, text, and bureaucracy in Pirandellian scholarship
