Vincenzo Tomeo's *The Judge on the Screen: A Translation and Critical Edition* is now out, edited and translated by Peter Robson with Vincenzo Ferrari and Ferdinando Spina
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781683934172/
Tomeo’s pioneering research in the 1960s and 1970s drew attention to the importance of popular culture in our understanding of the operation of the justice system. He was the first to recognize that how laws are interpreted and put into effect depends heavily on how the public understand them. This classic work now appears for the first time in an English translation with additional supporting materials.
I know it's twee to romanticise libraries, but it will never not amaze me that we can ask for a book they don't have and a librarian in a local library on the far side of the country will walk over to pick it off a shelf and send it to a librarian in my local library who will walk over to put it on a shelf, reserved for me, just for me, for free.
Sabrina Vellucci's book *Italian American Poetics of Place: An Environmental Perspective* is now out!
This volume examines the significance of place in contemporary Italian American literature from an ecocritical perspective. From mid-twentieth-century poets such as John Ciardi and Diane di Prima to late twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction writers such as Carole Maso and Salvatore Scibona, the study combines Italian American literary criticism with the spatial turn that, over the last decades, has asserted the interpretive significance of place and the environment in literary texts.
