A prominent and prolific Italian writer, Natalia Ginzburg
(1916-1991) is known for her novels, plays, short stories, and
essays. This collection brings together, for an English-speaking
audience, a variety of critical perspectives on Ginzburg's work.
The essays, all by North American scholars, examine the author's
entire production. The topics examined include Ginzburg's struggle
to define herself as a woman, a writer, and an intellectual; her
interpretation of the relationship between historical events and
private lives; her reflections on the women's movement and the
changing nature of the family; and her mastery of a distinctly
personal writing style. What emerges here is a nuanced and complex
portrait of Ginzburg and her work. The reader is given a sense of
the importance of her contribution, not only as a writer but as a
witness to the events of the twentieth century. The volume also
includes a chronology, a bibliography, and translations of some of
Ginzburg's lesser-known writings, including three articles, a poem,
and a one-act play.
