Baretti a Londra: E altri saggi su Joseph Tusiani

The volume gathers various essays on the Italian-American writer Joseph Tusiani. During the last decades, Tusiani has received an increasing attention in Europe and America, both from readers and academics, as testified by the numerous dissertations dedicated to his works. The recent flourishing of Italian-American Studies in Italy makes it the right time to publish this collection. But Tusiani is also a prolific translator and multilingual author, who expresses himself in English, Italian, Latin and dialect. His literary production includes so many different fields (translations, neo-latin poetry, dialect renaissance) that the definition of Tusiani as “Italian-American” writer is probably a narrow one. His works, though strictly connected to emigration, are of undoubted literary value.
