Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

Together with Healey's Twentieth-Century Italian Literature in English Translation, this volume makes comprehensive information on translations accessible for schools, libraries, and those interested in comparative literature.

Robin Healey retired as Collection Development Librarian for Italian Studies, Fine Art, and Anthropology at the University of Toronto Library in December, 2010.

‘This bibliography is a treasure house of important and useful information… It is a monumental work in every sense.’

Paul Howard:

‘Healey’s two volumes of bibliography are an extremely useful tool for all scholars of literature and intercultural relations, and certainly set new standards for such a venture in Italian Studies.’

P. Warren, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada:
‘… no other up-to-date bibliography of translations comes close to the compass of Healey’s work … Healey’s coverage seems close to faultless. This bibliography, a monumental achievement of thorough, tireless and well-honed scholarship, deserves a place on the shelves of all academic and large public libraries.’

Translation Review:
‘This is an exceptionally valuable new resource tool for scholars in the fields of Italian literature, language, and translation studies.’

J.R. Woodhouse, Notes and Queries:
‘This is an impressive piece of bibliography. Its six double-columned indices alone … are a testimony both to the amount of detail and to the care and attention involved in its creation.’

J. Larson, Choice:
‘One must admire this chronological, enumerative, often generously annotated bibliography of English translations of twentieth-century Italian belles lettres … Healey thoroughly covers the field, whose parameters he scrupulously sets forth in the introduction.’
