Walden
“Andai nei boschi perché desideravo affrontare solo i fatti essenziali della vita, senza scoprire, giunto alla morte, di non aver vissuto” Come può un libro all’apparenza così remoto nel tempo e nello sguardo sul mondo parlare come pochi altri al nostro presente? Walden è infatti il resoconto di due anni di vita solitaria che Henry Thoreau trascorse fra il luglio del 1845 e il settembre del 1847 nella campagna del Massachusetts. E tuttavia è il testo da cui oltre un secolo dopo prenderanno le mosse i movimenti ecologisti e ambientalisti di mezzo mondo. Un semplice diario, che all’esperienza intima unisce la descrizione della vita quotidiana, materiale, fatta di suoni, silenzi, p...
Wireless Writing in the Age of Marconi
Wireless technology has become deeply embedded in everyday life, but its impact cannot be fully understood without probing the contributions of the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), who ushered in the beginning of wireless communication. Marconi produced and detected sound waves over long distances, using the curvature of the earth for direction, and laid the foundations for what we know as radio—the original mobile, voice-activated, and electronic media community. Timothy C. Campbell demonstrates that Marconi’s invention of the wireless telegraph was not simply a technological act but also had an impact on poetry and aesthetics and linked the written word to the rise of ma...
The Last Italian
Drawing from a lifetime of writing about Italy, William Murray takes us off the beaten path to give us more than landmarks, more than art history, more than four-star restaurants and two-dimensional landscapes.

Framing the Polish Home
As the subject of ideological, aesthetic, and existential manipulations, the Polish home and its representation is an ever-changing phenomenon that absorbs new tendencies and, at the same time, retains its centrality to Polish literature, whether written in Poland or abroad. Framing the Polish Home is a pioneering work that explores the idea of home as fundamental to the question of cultural and national identity within Poland’s recent history and its tradition. In this inaugural volume of the Polish and Polish-American Studies Series, the Polish home emerges in its rich verbal and visual representations and multiple material embodiments, as the discussion moves from the loss of the home d...
The Medieval Frontiers of Latin Christendom
The aim of this first volume in the series "The Expansion of Latin Europe" is to sketch the outlines of medieval expansion, illustrating some of the major topics that historians have examined in the course of demonstrating the links between medieval and modern experiences. The articles reprinted here show that European expansion began not in 1492 following Columbus's voyages but earlier as European Christian society re-arose from the ruins of the Carolingian Empire. The two phases of expansion were linked but the second period did not simply replicate the medieval experience. Medieval expansion occurred as farmers, merchants, and missionaries reduced forests to farmland and pasture, created new towns, and converted the peoples encountered along the frontiers to Christianity. Later colonizers subsequently adapted the medieval experience to suit their new frontiers in the New World.
