Poetics, Performance and Politics in French and Italian Renaissance Comedy
Lucy Rayfield
Transcript 18
- ‘[Rayfield] provides in-depth socio-cultural and cross-cultural context. She has contributed an unusual study of the very small world of French humanist comedy, stimulatingly expanding it both from the inside and from the outside, schoolboys, polygraphs, and printers brushing elbows with French royals and wealthy Florentines.’ — Corinne Noirot, H-France 23 (May 2023), no. 86

The Diasporic Canon: American Anthologies of Contemporary Italian Poetry 1945-2015
Marta Arnaldi
Transcript 20
- ‘The Diasporic Canon ha il merito di aver sistematizzato un fenomeno sino ad ora esaminato solo per compartimenti stagni e d’aver enucleato efficacemente i vettori dinamici e trasformativi che nutrono ed orientano il processo interculturale nella sua prismatica dimensione di pluralismo e transnazionalità.’ — 575-78, Annali d'Italianistica 2023, 41, Olimpia Pelosi
- ‘With The Diasporic Canon, Arnaldi has brought to the table an innovative and comprehensive disquisition that considers the impact of contemporary Italian verse on both the Italian and American canons. Arnaldi’s pioneering work serves as a valuable resource and a true contribution to scholars of diasporic Italian literary and artistic production.’ — Joseph D. Pecorelli, Italica 100.3, 2023, 477-79 (full text online)
