Research Interests

Having recently completed the first critical edition of Giovan Battista Marino's lyric poetry (La Lira) I am now working on completing a book on hisvast encyclopaedic poem L'Adone (provisional title: A Poem in Time. Giovan Battista Marino's Adone and the Italian Baroque). Longer term projects include work in progress on Dante and Pirandello, and a book on spectacle and performance in seventeenth-century culture. My research concentrates on the Early Modern (Late Medieval to Baroque) period, but I also have an interest in and have published on the modern period (novel and theatre) and contemporary culture. In both areas my inclinations are comparatist and inter-disciplinary (Italian's relations with other literatures; literature and science; sociology of literature etc.).

Other Interests and Hobbies
