| Summary: | 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. |
