Italian Studies and Language

A comprehensive account of Italy and Italian politics in the 21st Century. A wide range of topics are covered, including: Politics and economy, and their impact on Italian society; Parties and new politics; Regionalism and migrations; Public memories; Continuities and transformations in contemporary Italian society.

The Encyclopedia of Italian Literary Studies is a two-volume reference book of 600 entries on all aspects of Italian literary culture. Entries consist of an essay on the topic and a bibliographic portion listing works for further reading, and, in the case of entries on individuals, a brief biographical paragraph and list of works by the person.

This rigorously compiled A-Z volume offers rich, readable coverage of the diverse forms of post-1945 Italian culture. With over 900 entries by international contributors, this volume is genuinely interdisciplinary in character, treating traditional political, economic, and legal concerns, with a particular emphasis on neglected areas of popular culture.
