| Synopsis: |
The Unification of Italy in 1870 heralded a period of unprecedented change. While successive Liberal governments pursued imperial ventures and took Italy into World War One on the Allied side, on the domestic front technological advance, the creation of a national transport network, the expansion of state education, internal migration to cities and the rise of political associations all contributed to the rapid expansion of the print industry and the development of new and highly diversified reading publics. Drawing on publishers'archives, letters, diaries, and printed material, this book provide the most up-to-date research into the printed media - books, magazines and journals - in Italy between 1870 and 1914. With essays on publishers and reading communities, the professionalization of the role of journalist and writer, children's literature, book illustrations, and printed media in colonial territories among others, this book is intended for those with interests in cultural production and consumption and questions of nation-formation and nationhood in and outside Italy.With the contributions: Ann Hallamore Caesar, Gabriella Romani- Introduction John Davis- Media, Markets and Modernity: The Italian Case, 1870-1915 Maria Grazia Lolla- Reader/Power: The Politics and Poetics of Reading in Post-Unification Italy Joseph Luzzi- Verga Economicus: Language, Money, and Identity in I Malavoglia and Mastro-don Gesualdo Olivia Santovetti- The Cliche of the Romantic Female Reader and the Paradox of Novelistic Illusion: Federico De Roberto's L'Illusione (1891) Francesca Billiani- Intellettuali militanti, funzionari e tecnologici, etica ed estetica in tre riviste fiorentine d'inizio secolo: Il Regno, La Voce, e Lacerba (1903-1914) Luca Somigli- Towards a Literary Modernity all'italiana: A Note on F.
