“An intelligent and engaging blend of cultural and literary
history, this volume provides a highly readable overview of modern
Italian literature, which ranges from the eighteenth century to
today. A most valuable study for both experts and
students.”
Rebecca West, University of Chicago
“A brilliant book that moves with agility through the
centuries, authors, and historical events. It is a cultural and
literary guide that any student of Italian should rely
on.”
Graziella Parati, Dartmouth College
“This is a superb, stimulating and lucid work of
synthesis, tracing the evolution of Italian literature from the
late seventeenth century to the present day. As well as revisiting
major figures and others lost in the archive, the book uses the
literary field to explore a fascinating series of subterranean
patterns in Italy’s modern cultural history.”
Robert Gordon, University of Cambridge
