Description

Book Synopsis
This transitional moment can be read in – and, furthermore, was prepared by – the emergence of several new literary genres in which, paradoxically, a Spectator was allotted the principle role.

Trade Review

'Pucci’s treatment of the four genres she examines is at times brilliant, and this book offers new perspectives for understanding the cultural and literary changes in the first half of the century.'
