Biography
Research
Anna’s thinking and writing span Italian, English, and French literature of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a specific focus on translation practices. She is particularly interested in different forms of literary collaboration (i.e. among authors and translators, friends, and romantic partners) and in approaching them from the perspective of archival research and genetic criticism.
Teaching
Anna’s research and teaching are mutually informative, and geared towards an understanding of literature in its transnational and translational dimensions. Anna teaches all students taking Italian at St Hilda's, from those preparing for the Italian Preliminary Examination to Finalists.
