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.
The Day
One of the most studied and popular works of Italian literature, Giuseppe Parini’s The Day has been unjustly neglected in the English-speaking countries. This edition reissue of Herbert Morris Bower’s beautiful verse translation, the only complete English version of the poem, is enriched by facing original text and extra end notes. Parini’s satirical description of a lazy young nobleman’s fashionable day, from his awakening late in the morning to the fatuous pleasures that noon and evening bring, has been often compared to The Rape of the Lock, and displays the same gentle tone, pointed wit, and enduring charm of Pope’s masterpiece.
