Produktbeschreibung
Sciascia frequently alludes to French authors, and is often taken to have a close relationship with French literature in general. However, academic critics have never given this important relationship comprehensive and detailed examination. This book focuses on the most relevant French writers. For the majority, attention falls on two complementary areas: the opinions that Sciascia expresses about the writer in his essays; and intertextual allusions to the writer in Sciascia's fiction. These allusions often shift the meaning of the host text or markedly increase its impact. This book works on the assumption that, in order to analyse these effects fully, a careful reading of the relevant French texts is needed. This exploration leads to a reappraisal of Sciascia's relations both with particular French authors and also with French literature generally.
Autorenporträt
The Author: Ian R. Morrison graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 1968 and was a lecturer in French at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne from 1970 until his retirement in 2005. In French, his research and publications were mainly on sixteenth-century literature, while his teaching ranged over most major periods of literature. His belated interest in Sciascia has given rise to several articles.
Rezensionen
"Questo volume (...) offre (...) un bilancio originale di una grande ricchezza, che risulterà utile per analizzare una questione che non era mai stata veramente affrontata in precedenza, se non in modo affrettato o limitato. Il censimento meticoloso da parte di Morrison delle relazioni intertestuali, illustrato da una presentazione molto dettagliata degli autori e delle opere presi in esame (...)." (Mario Fusco, Todomodo II, 2012)
