It provides the first historical account of the cultural agency of the most important readers of Italian fiction working for British publishers with an interest in European literature in the period 1945–1968 (Jonathan Cape, Chatto & Windus, the Hogarth Press and The Bodley Head), assessing their educational and professional background and its influence on their critical perspective. To do this, it analyses three examples of professional reading, which concern the use of categories such as 'realism' and 'neorealism'; the consideration of genre and readability (with a focus on the translation of Natalia Ginzburg's Lessico famigliare); and the assessment of the political subtext of Vasco Pratolini's trilogy Una storia italiana. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
