Robert S. Dombroski

Eight essays collected by Dombroski (graduate school, CUNY) support the view that Gramsci's ideal of a national-popular literature has now finally been realized in Italy. Contributors discuss the development of contemporary theater despite age-old writer-actor conflict; literature's place in society; the impact of literary magazines on literary ideologies; recent poetry; a comparative view of the Italian postmodern; pulp fiction; and Italian cinema since the 1950s. Lacks background information on the contributors and an index. Distributed in the US by Griffon House Publications. c. Book News Inc.
