A DOOR TO THEIR HEARTS
Growing up in a Sicilian family with most of its members born and raised in America, Jeannine was eager to grasp a deeper understanding of her true heritage, not the Americanized version. She’d known that her maternal grandparents, Giuseppe Ferro and Angela Luca, had immigrated to the United States to Waltham, Massachusetts, where her mother was raised, but she hadn’t known from where, why, or when they’d arrived. She’d begun her quest for answers on Ellis Island, and from there, her grandparents’ journey had become her journey as she’d traced their paths by going to Sicily herself to learn about their lives there and what made them leave. To her surprise, Jeannine found more tha...

Buried Caesars, and Other Secrets of Italian American Writing
Winner of the 2006 Pietro Di Donato and John Fante Literary Award from The Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy, New York State Robert Viscusi takes a comprehensive look at Italian American writing by exploring the connections between language and culture in Italian American experience and major literary texts. Italian immigrants, Viscusi argues, considered even their English to be a dialect of Italian, and therefore attempted to create an American English fully reflective of their historical, social, and cultural positions. This approach allows us to see Italian American purposes as profoundly situated in relation not only to American language and culture but also to Italian nationalist narratives in literary history as well as linguistic practice. Viscusi also situates Italian American writing within the "eccentric design" of American literature, and uses a multidisciplinary approach to read not only novels and poems, but also houses, maps, processions, videos, and other artifacts as texts.

Neo-Latin Philology: Old Tradition, New Approaches
Material Philology and the study of Renaissance Latin literature Neo-Latin Philology: Old Tradition, New Approaches explores the question whether the approaches developed in the so-called New or Material Philology can be applied to the study of Renaissance Latin literature. Two contributions in this volume focus on theoretical issues, the first presenting a critical assessment of the debate on New Philology in the 1990s, the second providing some guidelines for researchers of the materiality of sources. The remaining seven contributions discuss various ways in which the material presentation in either manuscript or print played a part in the interpretation of a variety of texts, including Ba...

Reflexe eines Umwelt- und Klimabewusstseins in fiktionalen Texten der Romania
Mit der Rekonstruktion des ökologischen Diskurses in den romanischen Literaturen vom 18. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert leistet der Band einen innovativen Forschungsbeitrag. Die Untersuchungen spiegeln die epochenspezifische Ausformung des Umweltbewusstseins sowie dessen Wandel unter Einbeziehung ökokritischer Reflexe bereits in Antike, Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Sie zeigen auch, dass sich seit den 1950er Jahren in der Literatur ein modernes Umweltbewusstsein herausgebildet hat. Seit den 1970er Jahren entwickelt sich dieses zu einem vielstimmigen kritischen Diskurs, der zu einer Umweltethik heranreift. Die Poetisierung der Ökologie erfordert eine adäquate Rhetorik, die sich zu einem speziellen ,meteorologischen‘ Schreiben verdichten kann, das den Natur bzw. Umweltphänomenen anverwandelt ist.
