This book examines women's writing in Italy from Unification to the
present day, exploring the lives and works of women writers within
the context of Italian history, culture and politics. The changing
face of Italian social and political life since Unification has
greatly affected the position of women in Italy. This work
discusses the relation between the changing role of women over this
period, their struggle for social and political emancipation and
equality, and the search by women writers for a personal and
authentic literary voice. Wood's other publications include "Woman
as Object: Narrative and Gender in the Work of Alberto Moravia"
(1990). The series provides a survey, country by country of women's
writing from the beginnings of the major struggle for emancipation
up to the present day. While the main emphasis is on literature,
the social, political and cultural development of each country
provides a context for understanding the position and
preoccupations of women writers. Modern critical currents are also
taken into account in relating feminist criticism to recent
critical theory. Other volumes in this series include "Norwegian
Women's Writing 1850-1990" and the forthcoming "Swedish Women's
Writing 1850-1990."
