Publication

Abstract

The article deals with the relationship between occultism and literature in the Italian cultural scene of the early 20th century. In this period, many authors of Italian literature have had interests for esotericism and the occult sciences in general.

The same Pirandello, despite skepticism complained to Capuana, was interested in spiritualism and theosophy and this interest in occultism is showed in many of his works.
