Illuminating Eco covers the range of British scholarship on the
prolific literary and theoretical work of Umberto Eco. With essays
by scholars such as Michael Caesar and David Robey, the volume
provides an overview of current research being carried out by a new
generation of academics. In addition, it provides an opportunity to
view the interaction between Eco's fiction and his theoretical
texts and suggests future avenues of research. The
interdisciplinary nature of the contributions makes this collection
accessible to Italianists and non-Italian speakers alike in order
to situate Eco's work in the wider literary and critical sphere.
Contributions have been divided into four sections, with the first
containing essays that engage with Eco's writing through a strong
awareness of the reading strategies suggested and required by his
texts. The second section is composed of essays that discuss
different approaches to interpretative strategies, including the
relationship between Eco's theoretical writing and his own fiction.
The third part consists of new responses to Eco's work, each of
which questions previous theoretical interpretations and creates
new applications for established approaches. Finally, the fourth
section contains a written response from Eco himself to some of the
questions raised by these essays, and a translation of the final
chapter from his most recent publication, Sulla letteratura, which
discusses the development of his narrative works from conception to
execution.
