Although it is a recent phenomenon, <strong>its roots lie in the past<\/strong>, with influences related to classicism, gothic and academic imagery.<\/p>\n<p>Historical and literary references:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Neoclassicism<\/strong> and <strong>Romanticism<\/strong>: the cult of knowledge, melancholic beauty and the exaltation of art and literature were central themes in the 19th century. Writers such as Byron, Mary Shelley, Goethe and Oscar Wilde embodied the ideal of the bohemian and tormented intellectual;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gothic<\/strong> and decadent movements: the fascination with Gothic architecture, darkness and mystery has its roots in the Victorian era, with authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Baudelaire exploring the darker side of the human intellect;<\/li>\n<li><strong>historical universities<\/strong>: the Dark Academia is deeply linked to the imagery of universities in the Anglo-Saxon world such as Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, which evoke a sense of exclusivity, tradition and ancient wisdom;<\/li>\n<li><strong>books<\/strong> such as J.K. Rowling&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harry_Potter\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry Potter saga<\/a> (and the related film series), because of the atmosphere of Hogwarts, with its libraries and halls. Or the trilogy of fantasy novels that began with Evelyn Waugh&rsquo;s <em>Deadly Education<\/em>. Or <strong>feature films<\/strong> such as <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/L%27attimo_fuggente\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Dead<\/em><\/a> Poets Society , <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wonder_Boys\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Wonder Boys<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giovani_ribelli_-_Kill_Your_Darlings\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Kill Your Darlings<\/em><\/a>. But the key work for Dark Academia is considered to be the novel <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dio_di_illusioni\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>God of Illusions<\/em><\/a> by US writer Donna Tartt, set in a small college in Vermont.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As mentioned at the beginning, it is thanks to social platforms that this imagery has spread. Initially on Tumblr and Pinterest, and later on Instagram and TikTok, it caught on especially <strong>during the lockdown<\/strong> due to the Covid pandemic, when a section of the younger population regained an interest in books and study, idealising an academic world that often no longer exists.<\/p>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><div id=\"__langwrap\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\"
