Introduction

he Oxford Companion to Italian Literature is a major addition to the well-known series. It is a substantial reference-work, comprising some 2,400 entries and over 450,000 words in total, and aims to be both useful and interesting to specialists and non-specialists alike. It reflects the most up-to-date scholarship and criticism, and covers the whole of Italian literature from the the 13th century to the present, including dialect literature and literature written in Latin by Italian authors. There is a substantial number of entries covering other branches of culture (philosophy, the media, linguistic history, other arts), social and political history, as well as literary criticism and theory. The emphasis on context is a major distinguishing feature of the Companion as against existing works of a similar character. The large number of contributors includes prominent specialists from the U.K., Italy, the U.S.A. and Australia.

The Companion has now been translated into Italian (with CD-ROM) as the Enciclopedia Oxford/Zanichelli della Letteratura Italiana.
