The Collected Stories of MarÕa Cristina Mena
This book gathers for the first time the English-language fiction of the first Mexican-American woman to appear in major U.S. magazines, MarÕa Cristina Mena. Written between 1913 and 1931 and published in such periodicals as Century, Cosmopolitan and T.S. EliotÍs Criterion, the short stories collected here include her best known work, ñThe Vine-Leaf.î Mena portrays life in Mexico both before and during the revolution of 1910 in stories that depict tradition and upheaval, class hierarchy and social customs under Porfirio DÕaz, the changing roles of women, the influences of Spain and the United States, and the effects of capitalism and modernization. These intriguing narratives open a window onto MexicoÍs past, and their underlying themes remain relevant to readers today. Amy DohertyÍs critical introduction features newly recovered biographical information about the author, and includes excerpts of MenaÍs correspondences with her magazine editors and with her friend D.H. Lawrence.

The Heirs to the Savoia Throne and the Construction of ‘Italianità’, 1860-1900
This book explores the evolution of the role of the heirs to the throne of Italy between 1860 and 1900. It focuses on the future kings Umberto I (1844-1900) and Vittorio Emanuele III (1869-1947), and their respective spouses, Margherita of Savoia (1851-1926) and Elena of Montenegro (1873-1952). It sheds light on the soft power the Italian royals were attempting to generate, by identifying and examining four specific areas of monarchical activity: firstly, the heirs’ public role and the manner in which they attempted to craft an Italian identity through a process of self-presentation; secondly, the national, royal, linguistic and military education of the heirs; thirdly, the promotion of a family-centred dynasty deploying both male and female elements in the public realm; and finally the readiness to embrace different modes of mobility in the construction of italianità. By analysing the growing importance of the royal heirs and their performance on the public stage in post-Risorgimento Italy, this study investigates the attempted construction of a cohesive national identity through the crown and, more specifically, the heirs to the throne.
