The Works of Elena Ferrante : Reconfiguring the Margins

This book is the first dedicated volume of academic analysis on the monumental work of Elena Ferrante, Italys most well-known contemporary writer. The Works of Elena Ferrante: Reconfiguring the Margins brings together the most exciting and innovative research on Ferrantes treatment of the intricacies of womens lives, relationships, struggles, and dilemmas to explore feminist theory in literature; questions of gender in twentieth-century Italy; and the psychological and material elements of marriage, motherhood, and divorce. Including an interview from Ann Goldstein, this volume goes beyond "Ferrante fever" to reveal the complexity and richness of a remarkable oeuvre.
