Nineteenth-Century Italian Women Writers and the Woman Question
Taylor & Francis
Nineteenth-Century Italian Women Writers and the Woman Question focuses on the literary, journalistic and epistolary production of Italian woman writer Neera, pseudonym for Anna Radius Zuccari, one of the most prolific and successful women writers of late nineteenth-century Italy. This study proposes to bring Neera out of the shadows of literary marginality to which she has long been confined by analyzing her contribution to literary and cultural debates as testimony to the pivotal role she played in the creation of a female literary voice within the Italian fin-de-si\u00E8cle context. Drawing from the Anglo-American feminist critical tradition; modern Italian feminist theory on the maternal order and sexual difference; and a close reading of Neera\u2019s literary, theoretical and epistolary writings this volume examines Neera\u2019s work from a three-pronged perspective: as promoter of a maternal order in contrast to the existent paternal order, as one of few women writers to partic.
