The Works of Elena Ferrante: Reconfiguring the Margins (Italian and Italian American Studies)

This book is the first dedicated volume of academic analysis on the monumental work of Elena Ferrante, Italy’s most well-known contemporary writer. The Works of Elena Ferrante: Reconfiguring the Margins brings together the most exciting and innovative research on Ferrante’s treatment of the intricacies of women’s lives, relationships, struggles, and dilemmas to explore feminist theory in literature; questions of gender in twentieth-century Italy; and the psychological and material elements of marriage, motherhood, and divorce. Including an interview from Ann Goldstein, this volume goes beyond ‘Ferrante fever’ to reveal the complexity and richness of a remarkable oeuvre.Product details Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2016 edition (December 22, 2016) Publication Date: December 22, 2016
