The Many Voices of Contemporary Piedmontese Writers
What do Cesare Pavese, Beppe Fenoglio and Primo Levi have in common? Apart from their obvious Piedmontese origins, they and other writers coming from this Italian region share a certain tendency towards multilingualism, which is a characteristic that has not been comprehensively investigated over the years. This study presents a linguistic analysis of a group of modern and contemporary narratives written by Piedmontese authors. The novels and short stories here examined are notable for the intriguing way in which they move between a variety of idioms – Standard Italian, regional vernaculars, English and pastiches (with rare excursions into French). With the support of linguistic and philos...
The Invisible Bridge between the United Kingdom and Piedmont
History books frequently refer to supposed similarities between the Italian region of Piedmont and the United Kingdom and their respective inhabitants. Historians, with a certain degree of emphasis, have described as a “special relationship” or an “ancient friendship” this long-term and privileged liaison. Regardless of the rhetoric, an ancient friendship really did exist, and perhaps still does. The alliance between Piedmont and the United Kingdom, though temporarily spoiled by passing clouds, was cemented by the common French threat as well as the necessity, for the United Kingdom, of gaining access to the Mediterranean, while the Piedmontese state may not have survived situated be...
Italian Women at War
Italian Women at War: Sisters in Arms from Unification to the Twentieth Century offers diverse perspectives on Italian women’s participation in war and conflict throughout Italy’s modern history, contributing to the ongoing scholarly conversation on this topic. Part one of the book focuses on heroines who fought for Italy’s Unification and on the anti-heroines, or brigantesse, who opposed such a momentous change. Part two considers exceptional individuals, such as Eva Kühn Amendola, who combatted both with her body and her pen, as well as collective female efforts during the world wars, whether military or civilian. In part three, where the context is twentieth-century society, the fo...

Riscritture d’autore
Il volume riunisce sette saggi dedicati a casi esemplari di filologia d’autore contemporanea, in cui si analizzano opere sottoposte ad un profondo processo di riscrittura, tale da modificarne non solo forma e struttura, ma spesso anche intenti, finalità e valore complessivo. Nel profondo lavorio che accompagna le opere di Gadda, Fenoglio, Joyce, Yourcenar, Arenas, Cardoso Pires e de Melo è possibile riscontrare non solo mutamenti di ideale estetico, ma anche reazioni a mutamenti di contesto, elementi utili a spiegare la presenza di varianti talmente profonde da far prefigurare una vera e propria riscrittura “totale”. L’obiettivo del volume è quello di fornire una prima casistica del processo di riscrittura, con finalità non solo genetiche, ma soprattutto critico-interpretative. A fianco e al di là dei casi specifici, tutti di grandissimo interesse, le analisi presentate forniscono indizi relativi a questioni fondamentali, quali i rapporti tra forma e contenuto, testo e contesto, autore e opera, i confini esistenti tra opere diverse o il significato stesso del concetto di volontà d’autore e di versione “definitiva” di un’opera.
