Bila je poznatija pod pseudonimom Bruno Sperani pod kojim je objavljivala svoja djela. U uvodnom dijelu rada prikazan je povijesni, društveni i kulturološki kontekst postunitarne Italije, vremena u kojem je Beatrice Speraz živjela i književno djelovala, a koji je
... More neizostavan okvir za razumijevanje njezinog proznog stvaralaštva. U nastavku je dat kraći povijesni prikaz književnosti koju su pisale žene na talijanskom poluotoku i ukazano je na njihovu marginaliziranost u talijanskoj književnosti koja je bila uvjetovana njihovom pripadnosti ženskom spolu. Poglavlje o književnicama Ottocenta kojem je Beatrice Speraz kronološki i kulturološki pripadala, prikazuje razdiobu unutar samog perioda, naznačuje karakteristike njihova stvaralaštva, i ukazuje na izazove s kojima su se književnice ovog razdoblja susretale kako bi prodrle na književnu scenu. U drugom dijelu rada predstavljeni su književničin životopis i prozni opus te kritički osvrti na njezino prozno stvaralaštvo. U trećem dijelu težište rada je na analizi položaja žene u talijanskom društvu druge polovine Ottocenta, jer je žena tog razdoblja kao tema i kao lik u središtu autoričinog književnog stvaralaštva. Prije analize odabranih djela daje se i kratki osvrt na početke emancipacije te koncept i povijest braka kao kontekst za bolje razumijevanje autoričine proze. Opsežan prozni opus Beatrice Speraz pruža pogled u stoljećima zatvoreni i osamljeni ženski svijet te uvid u proces samospoznavanja i sazrijevanja ženskih likova. U njemu pratimo postupno osvješćivanje, prvo same potrebe za promjenom postojećeg stanja i položaja žene u društvu druge polovine 19. i prvih desetljeća 20. stoljeća, a potom njezino pokretanje, sam čin promjene, samoostvarenja i realizacije. Književno stvaralaštvo autorice u svom središtu ima podređen položaj žene u talijanskom društvu Ottocenta, stoga je u analizi odabranih romana težište postavljeno na procesu osvješćivanja i sazrijevanja svijesti ženskih likova. Kako je književnica bila angažirani pisac, duboko svjesna svog vremena, neka od njezinih proznih djela nose socijalistički predznak. U svom stvaralaštvu Beatrice Speraz također skreće pozornost na nepovoljne okolnosti i uvjete kojima su izloženi podređeni i marginalizirani dionici društva, radnici, seljaci i djeca te ukazuje na prijeko potrebnu promjenu u društvu postunitarne Italije. Zaključna razmatranja donose sintezu rada i nude prosudbu o književnom izričaju Beatrice Speraz te upućuju na potrebna daljnja izučavanja i revalorizaciju njezina književnog stvaralaštva čime bi se književnici dodijelilo zasluženo mjesto u kanonu talijanske književnosti. Less Abstract (english) This doctoral thesis presents the results of research and study of the life and literary output of Beatrice Speraz, an Italian female writer of Croatian origins, who lived and worked in the second half of the 19th and the first decades of the 20th century. She was better known under the pseudonym of Bruno Sperani which she had chosen as her literary name. The introduction presents historical, social and cultural context of the post-Unification Italy, period in which Beatrice Speraz
... More lived and literary worked and which serves as a framework for comprehension of her literary output. Further chapter provides the abridged historical view of the literature written by female authors on the Italian peninsula and points out their marginalization in Italian literary history caused by their belonging to female sex. The chapter entitled The women writers of Ottocento, to which Beatrice Speraz cronologicaly and culturaly belonged, reviews the division inside the period itself, denotes the features of their literary works and indicates the challenges these women writers encountered on their breakthrough in the literary scene. The second part of the doctoral thesis presents Beatrice Speraz's biography and the overview of her literary production, as well as the critical reviews of her novels and collection of short stories written by her contemporaries. The emphasis of the third part of the thesis is on the analysis of the woman's status and condition in the Italian society of the second half of the 19th century, since the woman of the mentioned period was in the focus of Beatrice Speraz's literary work as a major theme and a main character. Before the analysis of the selected works, the short review of the beginnings of emancipation movement is given, as well as the concept and history of marriage which provides the context for better understanding of the author's prose. The prolific Speraz's output provides the insight in previously isolated and lonely woman's world as well as the view in the process of self-consciousness and maturing of the female characters. Through it the process of gradual rise of woman's self-awareness is followed, firstly a very need for changing of the present position and condition for the woman of the second half of 19th and the first decades of 20th century, then her motion, the act of change, self-recognition and realization. Although the author is strongly concerned with „the woman's question“ and required changes and modes in which they can be obtained, Speraz's literary works bear the pedagogical message as well. It is contained in the author's intention to draw attention to circumstances to which girls and women are exposed to and the ways how they can achieve better position in their families and society. As the author was an engaged writer, deeply aware of her time, some of her works bear the socialistic sign. Nevertheless, Speraz's preoccupation is primarily focused on the position of the woman and needed emancipation in the society of the second half of Ottocento, she also draws attention to unfavourable and difficult conditions in the lives of other marginalized members of the society like workers, peasants and children and points out the need for indispensable change in the society of post-Unification Italy. The concluding remarks synthesize the results of the researched and studied theme and offer the opinion of Beatrice Speaz's literary work. They point out the necessity of further studies and the revaluation of the author's literary output which hopefully would lead to the recognition of Beatrice Speraz, awarding her with the merited and deserved place in the canon of the Italian literature.
