Landscapes of Desire in the Poetry of Vittorio Sereni

Zusatztext closesly researched Informationen zum Autor Francesca Southerden is Assistant Professor of Italian Studies at Wellesley College. She obtained her D.Phil. in Italian Literature from Hertford College, Oxford and afterwards held the post of Mary Ewart Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Somerville College, Oxford (2007-2010). Her research interests include medieval and modern Italian poetry, especially Dante, Petrarch, and their legacy for the twentieth century; critical theory, especially psychoanalysis and the philosophy of language, and notions of space in literature. She has published several articles on the changing constellation of subjectivity, language, and desire in the work of Dante, Petrarch, and Sereni. She is co-editor, with Manuele Gragnolati, Tristan Kay, and Elena Lombardi, of Desire in Dante and the Middle Ages (Oxford: Legenda, forthcoming 2012). Klappentext This is the first book-length study in English on Vittorio Sereni (1913-83), a major figure in Italian twentieth-century poetry. It argues that a key innovation of Sereni's poetry is the way in which it reworks the boundaries of poetic space to construct a lyric 'I' radically repositioned in the textual universe with respect to its predecessors.
