The Romanticism of Contemporary Theory
'The book is excellently documented, coherently marshalling a wide range of sources, and it offers perceptive comments on many points of detailBalanced between several fields of interest, it can at times be tantalizing... an important contribution to an inherently complex field of enquiry.' Italian Studies '... highly recommended for its theoretical intelligence and acumen, and in particular for its innovative development of the Deleuzean concept of 'minor literature' in an Italian context. Moreover, the book proposes an original and extremely fertile methodological approach to Italian travel literature that might well be extended to the Italian tradition at large, going back to Marco Polo and early modern Italian travel literature, thus providing a powerful and timely antidote, particularly in an age of 'globalizing literary studies', to the Italian critical tradition's aversion to travel.' Modern Language Review '[Loredana Polezzi's] work is a fine example of a perfect bilingual sensibility at work on a suitably bicultural subject, in the older 'golden' tradition of Comparative Literature... Few books in translation studies can match this kind of fully bilingual resourcefulness...' The Translator
