About this book

Through numerous examples, Roush highlights the non-linear development of this mixed genre, and shows how poetic self-commentaries respond to unique literary, historical, and political exigencies, and offer keys to understanding the underlying poetic message.

Reviews

Olga Pugliese, Department of Italian Studies, University of Toronto:

'An excellent piece of scholarship ... [that] identifies a literary genre - that of self-commentary - more precisely and profoundly than has been the case with previous critics, defines it in an original manner ... and offers insightful readings of the texts. Impeccably written.'
