Italian Literature in the Nuclear Age

Explores the notion of the bystander in the Nuclear Age by focusing on the Italian situation as a paradigmatic case. It re-frames Italy's mix of implication and powerlessness not only as a geopolitical question, but as a way to re-think the role of the side-lined intellectual in the face of mass extinction.

Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies

The Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies is a two-volume reference book containing some 600 entries on all aspects of Italian literary culture. It includes analytical essays on authors and works, from the most important figures of Italian literature to little known authors and works that are influential to the field. The Encyclopedia is distinguished by substantial articles on critics, themes, genres, schools, historical surveys, and other topics related to the overall subject of Italian literary studies. The Encyclopedia also includes writers and subjects of contemporary interest, such as those relating to journalism, film, media, children's literature, food and vernacular literatures. Entries consist of an essay on the topic and a bibliographic portion listing works for further reading, and, in the case of entries on individuals, a brief biographical paragraph and list of works by the person. It will be useful to people without specialized knowledge of Italian literature as well as to scholars.
