Umberto Eco is Italy's most famous living intellectual, known among
academics for his literary and cultural theories, and to an
enormous international audience through his novels, The Name of the
Rose, Foucault's Pendulum and The Island of the Day Before. Umberto
Eco and the Open Text is the first comprehensive study in English
of Eco's work. In clear and accessible language, Peter Bondanella
considers not only Eco's most famous texts, but also many
occasional essays not yet translated into English. Tracing Eco's
intellectual development from early studies in medieval aesthetics
to seminal works on popular culture, postmodern fiction, and
semiotic theory, he shows how Eco's own fiction grows out of his
literary and cultural theories. Bondanella cites all texts in
English, and provides a full bibliography of works by and about
Eco.
