italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies

News from Annali d’italianistica (www.ibiblio.org/annali)

July 10, 2008

You will find below the most recent list of books received. Interested
scholars may contact the Editor at: [log in to unmask]

Scholars will be selected on the basis of their expertise and research
interests. Scholars who have never reviewed for AdI, or are new in the
profession, are encouraged to introduce themselves briefly when they
request books to review.

All reviews are read by the Editor and Assistant Editor, and all
reviewers will receive proofs with feedback.

Information on the journal’s editorial norms can be found on the
journal’s website: www.ibiblio.org/annali

Colleagues who have accepted to review books should submit their reviews
before the next deadline (June 30, 2009), so that the review may appear
in the 2009 issue.

In all your correspondence with the Editor, please provide your e-mail
address, complete name, academic affiliation, and the complete address
where you wish to receive the book to be reviewed.

If you receive no answer within three weeks, please contact again the
Editor.



IMPORTANT: Annali is planning, as of the 2008 issue, to implement the
following praxis: While listing in the annual volume all the reviews,
including titles of books and names of reviewers, and while paginating
all the reviews as they would appear in print, to publish the reviews,
with consecutive page numbers, only online, where the entire section of
reviews (Bookshelf) is already available as of 1998. The reasons for
this change are many, and they are practical and financial but also
academic and scholarly.
