Women and Lovers
This is an emotional work about regained confidence in family life and cultural self-knowledge where love, so often underestimated, leads to a permanent personal and collective healing."--BOOK JACKET.
Made in Italy
This is a tough and poignant novel that tells us the uncompromising story of an immigrant woman struggling to find freedom and happiness in Canada only to have them snatched away by a series of tragedies. Ardizzi uses a powerful and poetic language to capture the deepest sentiments of a woman with imagination and courage.
Writers in Transition
In November 1985, several writers, including Joseph Pivato, Antonio D'Alfonso, Pasquale Verdicchio and Dino Minni thought a national conference to take stock and discuss future directions might be a good idea. The Italian Cultural Centre graciously offered its premises. This collection of the proceedings contains the scholarly papers delivered.
Dictionary of Italian-American Poets
This book, the first of its kind in the world, studies a body of literature thus far almost unexplored. After discussing such concepts as immigration and ethnicity and giving a definition of Italo-American Poetry, it presents roughly one thousand poets. Following the criterion of inclusiveness, known and unknown poets, those who have published one or more collections, as well as those whose works have appeared only in magazines, have been listed. A short bio, a list of his/her books and criticism have been given for each of them whenever available.
Social Pluralism and Literary History
This book starts from the premise that emigration is a crucial concept for the understanding of recent development in criticism and literature. For only when the contribution of non-indigenous ethnicities is taken into account such other key phenomena as globalisation and multiculturalism or -- in some parts of the world -- colonialism or post-colonialism appear in full. The essays in this collection trace the presence of an Italian heritage in the literature of the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, and ponder the consequences. While some articles describe the texts or review the history of the literature produced by authors of Italian origin, others address the theoretical implications or situate the discussion about authors and their works within the current critical debate. The result is a volume at once informative and intellectually challenging.
Bridging the Ocean
La pubblicazione, in lingua inglese, presenta un'introduzione critica ad una serie di opere scritte da italiani che, immigrati in Canada per le più disparate ragioni temporaneamente oppure per stabilirvisi , hanno poi voluto raccontare la loro personale esperienza, sia in forma autobiografica che di finzione, utilizzando come lingua non l'inglese o il francese, bensì l'italiano. La scelta di questo mezzo espressivo ha limitato la diffusione e la conoscenza di questi testi presso il vasto pubblico dei lettori (italo)-canadesi. Questa produzione letteraria, poco indagata nel suo evolversi, nei suoi contenuti e significati, va invece considerata come un passaggio obbligatorio per comprendere gli inizi ed anche l'essenza della presenza culturale e letteraria italiana contemporanea in Canada.
Italian Literature since 1900 in English Translation
Providing the most complete record possible of texts by Italian writers active after 1900, this annotated bibliography covers over 4,800 distinct editions of writings by some 1,700 Italian authors. Many entries are accompanied by useful notes that provide information on the authors, works, translators, and the reception of the translations. This book includes the works of Pirandello, Calvino, Eco, and more recently, Andrea Camilleri and Valerio Manfredi. Together with Robin Healey’s Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation, also published by University of Toronto Press in 2011, this volume makes comprehensive information on translations from Italian accessible for schools, libraries, and those interested in comparative literature.
