Reviews

The Quiet Avant-Garde is an important contribution to the research on Italian modernism and avant-garde movements and an inspiring work of literary criticism that successfully engages with posthumanism and other current philosophical and literary theories. - Matteo Gilebbi, Department of French and Italian, Dartmouth College Engaging, important, and well researched, The Quiet Avant-Garde argues that Italy's avant-garde blurs the boundary between human and non-human at the start of the twentieth century, drawing readers' attention to the vibrant agency of a wide range of matter as represented in futurist and crepuscular writing. - Monica Seger, Department of Modern Languages & Literatures, William & Mary
