Offering comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to Natalia Ginzburg, this volume situates Ginzburg’s works within major critical discourses to articulate innovative readings and mobilize further lines of inquiry. The first section, “World Literature and World Making,” uses translation practices, world literature, and transnational studies to theorize the growing popularity of Ginzburg. The second section, “Female Bodies, Voices, and Gazes,” draws on gender and queer studies, speech act theory, intersectional feminism, and media studies to begin to address gaps in Ginzburg scholarship. The last section, “Identity, Topography, and Forms,” approaches Ginzburg through the lenses of trauma studies, topography, novel and essay studies, and Jewish identity. Natalia Ginzburg’s Global Legacies both makes available in English important Italian research and builds on significant international discourses. In bridging Italian and Anglophone scholarship, the volume engages students and scholars of Comparative and Italian literature, world literature, and women’s writing, as well as general readers of Ginzburg.
