Caro Olgogigi
Dotata di un'intensa bellezza, che fu celebrata dai suoi contemporanei, e, soprattutto, di spigliata intelligenza e sensibilità, Olga Ossani attraversò da protagonista il giornalismo romano e la società intellettuale, quale si venne determinando, in Italia, a cavallo fra Ottocento e Novecento. Amica di poeti, scrittori ed artisti - primo fra tutti, Gabriele D'Annunzio - fu osservatrice attenta della vita del nostro Paese, di cui esaminò e descrisse, in maniera brillante, il costume. Contribuì a fondare importanti quotidiani - il "don Chisciotte della Mancia", "il don Chisciotte di Roma", "Il Giorno", "La Vita" e la rivista "La Nuova Rassegna"--Che, diretti dal marito, l'emiliano Luigi L...
Transnational Modernity in Southern Europe
This book explores women’s editorial and salon activities in Southern Europe and provides a comparative view of their practices. It argues that women in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece used their double role as editors and salonnières to engage with foreign cultures, launch the careers of promising young authors and advocate for modernization and social change.

British Romanticism and Italian Literature
Drawing on a long-standing tradition of fictional images, British writers of the Romantic period defined and constructed Italy as a land that naturally invites inscription and description. In their works, Italy is a cultural geography so heavily overwritten with discourse that it becomes the natural recipient of further fictional transformations. If critics have frequently attended to this figurative complex and its related Italophilia, what seems to have been left relatively unexplored is the fact that these representations were paralleled and sustained by intense scholarly activities. This volume specifically addresses Romantic-period scholarship about Italian literature, history, and culture under the interconnected rubrics of ‘translating’, ‘reviewing’, and ‘rewriting’. The essays in this book consider this rich field of scholarly activity in order to redraw its contours and examine its connections with the fictional images of Italy and the general fascination with this land and its civilization that are a crucial component of British culture between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
