A provocative account of the intersection between gender, narrative, and epistemology that draws on the work of Georg Lukács, Barbara Spackman, and Teresa de Lauretis, this volume offers an intriguing new approach to investigating the nature of fiction. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aItalian fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aCharacters and characteristics in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aCharacters and characteristics in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a853/.7093521 700 $aValisa$b Silvia$f1971-$0929349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460091403321 996 $aGender, narrative, and dissonance in the modern Italian novel$92088730 997 $aUNINA
