Teaching areas: 

 I teach a variety of authors and topics in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Italian literary cultur. These include Contemporary Italian Literature, Nineteenth-century Italian Literature, Twentieth-century Italian Poetry, Core Issues in the Comparative Study of European Literature, The Literature of the Fantastic.

I have supervised MA and PhD theses on the following topics:

(A) Modern Italian poetry, especially theses focussing on issues of form, language, and style.

(B) Nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction (in particular, the fantastic mode or genre and historical fictional narratives), especially theses focussing on issues of gender and/or forms of linguistic experimentalism.

(C) The operators and cultural institutions that control the dissemination of foreign culture in translation and the processes of canon-formation, especially theses focussing on the role played by translation in the modernization of Italian literary forms.

Research areas: 

My main research interest is modern Italian poetry, especially the interplay between tradition and experimentalism with form and language(s). My interests also include the reception of Guido Cavalcanti's work in 19th-c. European poetry, poetic translation in contemporary Italy, the literature of the fantastic, and the theory of comparative literature and of plurilingualism. I have completed a monograph on the Italian trilingual poet Amelia Rosselli, which investigates her use of European sources in her trilingual oeuvre, and I am currently engaged in two research projects:

(A)A Stylistic Study of Anna Maria Ortese's Non-Realist Fiction

(B)The Modernist Canon in Translation and the Italian Publishing Industry: Einaudi, Feltrinellu, Guanda and Scheiwiller 1940s-1970s
