'In her innovative and energizing study, Maria Schoina offers a compelling account of Romantic identity in relation to Anglo-Italians such as Hunt, Byron, and the Shelleys. Combining a cultural-geographical approach with literary insights, this book represents interdisciplinary work of a very high order.' Michael O'Neill, Durham University, UK 'Romantic 'Anglo-Italians' commendably tries fresh ways to tell a well-known tale... a provocative contribution to the study of Romantic transnational and cultural networks.' Sharp News 'Maria Schoina's Romantic 'Anglo-Italians' [...] offers a timely and subtly argued consideration of the later Romantic poets' engagement with questions of place and identity.' Year's Work in English Studies 'In this penetrating study of configurations of identity of some of the important British expatriates in post Napoleonic Italy, Dr Schoina ably demonstrates how the concept of the Anglo-Italian, as Mary Shelley defined it, was linked to the social economic and cultural conditions of the age.' Journal of Anglo-Italian Studies 'It is thanks to its undeterred attention to the many expressions of this process of semantic revision that this study offers some essential lessons about early nineteenth-century constructions and figurations of Italy. At the same time, it invites us to reflect on the impossibility of laying to rest a subject that continues to provide some of the most stimulating and innovative research in Romantic-period studies.' Byron Journal '[A] very engaging study...' BARS Bulletin
