Three books on
Dickens and Italy have recently come out that testify to the growing
interest for Dickens and Italy. The first one, The
Victorians and Italy: Literature, Travel, Politics and Art,
edited by Alessandro Vescovi, Luisa Villa and Paul Vita, published by
Polimetrica in 2009 does not deal solely with Dickens, but attempts at
painting the broad picture of the Victorians in Italy, not excluding a
number of papers on Dickens himself.
The second book is
called Dickens and Italy: Little Dorrit and
Pictures from Italy, edited by Michael Hollington and
Francesca Orestano and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing in
2010.
The third
collection, edited by Catherine Waters, Michael Hollington and
John Jordan, is called Imagining
Italy: Victorian Writers and Travellers, published by
Cambridge Scholars Publishing in 2011.
