Abstract

The question of a Sardinian literature and of a literary language begins to appear in the 16 th century and is affirmed in the 18 th . The 19 th century shows a split, a schisis, in Sardinian intellectuality, which was divided between loyalty to the Sardinian national values and the new Italian nationality. This fracture is still unresolved, and also manifests itself in a diversified literary production: one in the Sardinian language, and another one in an Italian mixed with Sardinian, so typical today of Sardinian nouvelle vague. The two “tribes” often look at each other with mutual suspicion, without seeking a fruitful connection.
