Embracing the whole of Italian literature, from the early thirteenth century to the present, The Oxford Companion to Italian Literature takes a broad view of what constitutes literature, covering historical writing, travel writing, theatre, and philosophy as well as the novel, poetry, literary dialogues, and critical theory.

Written by expert contributors, the entries reflect the current state of international scholarship, which has developed in many different and exciting directions in recent years.
