italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Filippo, the most recent edition is in *The Betrothed, and History of the
Column of Infamy* (London: Dent 1997) edited by myself and Matthew Reynolds.
The translation there of Storia della colonna infame is a version, revised by
me, of the one by Kenelm Foster originally published in *The Column of Infamy,
prefaced by Cesare Beccaria's Of Crimes and Punishments*, London: OUP, 1964.
(The translation of I promessi sposi in our edition is Colquhoun's 1951
version
revised by Matthew Reynolds).
This 1997 edition, which was commissioned by Dent and was also published as an
Everyman's Library paperback, appears to be out of print: at any rate it has
been deleted from the Everyman's catalogue and has disappeared from bookshops,
although it seems to be available on Amazon. A pity, since it was designed to
be used by students and general readers and is equipped with notes,
introduction, timeline, map, etc.
Best wishes
David Forgacs
