This book is the first dedicated volume of academic analysis on the
monumental work of Elena Ferrante, Italy's most well-known contemporary
writer. The Works of Elena Ferrante: Reconfiguring the Margins brings
together the most exciting and innovative research on Ferrante's
treatment of the intricacies of women's lives, relationships, struggles,
and dilemmas to explore feminist theory in literature; questions of
gender in twentieth-century Italy; and the psychological and material
elements of marriage, motherhood, and divorce. Including an interview
from Ann Goldstein, this volume goes beyond "Ferrante fever" to reveal
the complexity and richness of a remarkable oeuvre.
