Spring Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m.

I have just completed a book titled /She-Wolf: The Story of a Roman Ico//n/ (Cambridge UP 2010) and am currently editing a volume on Rome since 1870 (/Annali d'Italianistica/ 2010). My past work includes books on hysteria and madness in turn-of-the-century Europe (/Saint Hysteria/, Cornell UP 1996), pregnancy and childbirth in literature and theory (/Maternal Impressions/, Cornell UP 2002), a late nineteenth-century saint from Lucca (T/he)Voices of Gemma Galgani/, Chicago UP 2003, co-authored with Rudolph Bell), women mystics and food (/The Women in God's Kitchen/, Continuum 2005), as well as an Italian language book /(Italian Made Simple/, Broadway Books 2003) and an edition of a medieval mystic's autobiography (/Angela of Foligno's Memorial/, Boydell and Brewer 1999). I have also written some articles, closely related to my teaching, on contemporary Italian women writers such as Margaret Mazzantini and on Italian children's literature from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. I enjoy teaching both Italian language courses and seminars on literature and culture.
