The authors illuminate such topics as regional identities, political disunity, and the role of the national language and they cover a wide range of authors and works, including Dante, Petrarch, Manzoni, Montale, and Calvino. They explore some of the distinctive traditions of the literature, such as its concern with politics and its secular orientation in spite of the Catholic beliefs and practices of the Italian people, and they conclude by looking at recent developments in Italian literature, such as the influence of women's writing in Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Hainsworth\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus at Oxford University and reviews regularly for the \u003cem\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Robey\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Italian at Reading University.
