Echoes of Italian Literature in Don Luigi Giussani’s Work The Religious Sense

Abstract

This article analyses a less studied aspect of Don Luigi Giussani’s work, his style of writing and the method of analysis of the texts that the author knows and mentions in his works. Fr Giussani cannot be considered a literary critic, but his profound culture leads him to seek all those aspects of the literary work that he feels close to his own experience, and which best respond testify to the desires and fears of every man. Therefore, the contribution speaks of a meeting with the authors mentioned. The text mainly refers to the work The Religious Sense, while for the poets who are remembered, reference is made above all to Italian writers. We intend to make a comparison between what are some judgments expressed on the authors cited by modern and contemporary criticism in comparison with what Don Giussani affirms about these authors. In the text, an attempt has been made where possible to go back to the original texts.
