Interview with Anna Maria Ortese (1973) -- $tPrimary Works by Anna Maria Ortese -- $tContributors -- $tIndex 330 $aAfter years of obscurity, Anna Maria Ortese (1914-1998) is emerging as one of the most important Italian authors of the twentieth-century, taking her place alongside such luminaries as Italo Calvino, Primo Levi, and Elsa Morante. Anna Maria Ortese: Celestial Geographies features a selection of essays by established Ortese scholars that trace her remarkable creative trajectory.Bringing a wide range of critical perspectives to Ortese's work, the contributors to this collection map the author's complex textual geography, with its overlapping literary genres, forms, and conceptual categories, and the rhetorical and narrative strategies that pervade Ortese's many types of writing. The essays are complemented by material translated here for the first time: Ortese's unpublished letters to her mentor, the writer Massimo Bontempelli; and an extended interview with Ortese by fellow Italian novelist Dacia Maraini. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Women Authors$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Women Authors. 676 $a853/.914 702 $aAnnovi$b Gian Maria 702 $aGhezzo$b Flora$f1965- 702 $aMaraini$b Dacia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461016803321 996 $aAnna Maria Ortese$9770293 997 $aUNINA
