	Legenda Italian Perspectives 24 Disrupted Narratives: Illness, Silence and Identity in Svevo, Pressburger and Morandini by Emma Bond If Madame Bovary's death in Flaubert's 1857 novel marked the definitive end of the Romantic vision of literary disease, then the advent of psychoanalysis less than half a century later heralded an entirely new set of implications for literature dealing with illness. The theorization of a potential unconscious double (capable of expressing the body, and thus also the intimate damage caused by disease) in turn suggested a capacity to subvert or ... Hardback.

	Legenda Italian Perspectives 22 Giraffes in the Garden of Italian Literature: Modernist Embodiment in Italo Svevo, Federigo Tozzi and Carlo Emilio Gadda by Deborah Amberson Writing in 1926, Carlo Emilio Gadda (1893-1973) acknowledges his peculiarity within the Italian literary field by describing himself as a giraffe or a kangaroo in Italy's beautiful garden of literature. Gaddas self-characterization as exotic and even ungainly animal applies in equal measure to Italo Svevo (1861-1928) and Federigo Tozzi (1883-1920), authors who, like Gadda, thwarted efforts at critical classification. Yet the ostensible ... Hardback. Price US$89.50
	Legenda Italian Perspectives 21 The Printed Media in Fin-de-siècle Italy: Publishers, Writers, and Readers edited by Ann Hallamore Caesar, Gabriella Romani, and Jennifer Burns The Unification of Italy in 1870 heralded a period of unprecedented change. While successive Liberal governments pursued imperial ventures and took Italy into World War One on the Allied side, on the domestic front technological advance, the creation of a national transport network, the expansion of state education, internal migration to cities and the rise of political associations all contributed to the rapid expansion of the print industry and ...

	Legenda Italian Perspectives 20 Ugo Foscolo and English Culture by Sandra Parmegiani The history of the literary relations between Italy and England has its most celebrated early modern representative in Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827). Foscolo's translation of Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy is often regarded as the benchmark of his English experience, but there is more - around and beyond his relationship with Sterne - that can be uncovered. With over 3,000 letters spanning three decades, ... Hardback. Price US$89.50
	Legenda Italian Perspectives 19 Boccaccio and the Book: Production and Reading in Italy 1340-1520 by Rhiannon Daniels As a new digital era increasingly impacts on the 'age of print', we are ever more conscious of the way in which information is packaged and received.

	Legenda Italian Perspectives 17 Il Teatro di Eduardo de Filippo: La crisi della famiglia patriarcale by Donatella Fischer Eduardo De Filippo (1900-1984) è uno dei maggiori drammaturghi del novecento. Nel suo teatro, la famiglia rappresenta il punto nevralgico della società. Attraverso quest'unità archetipica, le opere qui considerate si propongono come un lungo esame dei rapporti familiari e sono, al contempo, il barometro dei mutamenti sociali e culturali delle diverse epoche in cui si svolge l'azione. In questo nuovo lavoro, Donatella Fischer ... Hardback. Price US$79.50
	Legenda Italian Perspectives 16 Sweet Thunder: Music and Libretti in 1960s Italy by Vivienne Hand Italian music of the 1960s is one of the most unjustly neglected areas in the arena of twentieth-century classical music.

It highlights how the difficult and unconventional methods of composition ... Hardback. Price US$69.00
	Legenda Italian Perspectives 15 Pastoral Drama in Early Modern Italy: The Making of a New Genre by Lisa Sampson Emerging in Italy in the mid-sixteenth century, pastoral drama is one of the most characteristic genres of its time. Sampson traces its uneven development into the following century by exploring masterpieces by Tasso and Guarini, and many lesser known works, some by women writers. She examines the treatment of key themes of love, the Golden Age, and Nature and Art against the background of the textual and stage production of the plays. An ... Hardback. Price US$69.00
