Reading Alice Munro in Italy

This collection of essays by Italian and international scholars reflects the ample spectrum of perspectives from which Alice Munro’s short fiction is capable of being dealt with. The various approaches employed – biographical, linguistic, mythopoetic, neo-historicist, psychological, intertextual and intersemiotic – contribute to new visions and revisions of her work, highlighting not only the deep meanings of Munro’s narratives, but also the nuances of her art. An accurately detailed section of the book is devoted to Munro’s belated reception in Italy.
