italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies News from Annali d’italianistica (www.ibiblio.org/annali <http://www.ibiblio.org/annali>) January 15, 2008 You will find below the most recent list of books received. Interested scholars may contact the Editor at: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[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 receive proofs with feedback. Information on the journal’s editorial norms can be found on the journal’s website: www.ibiblio.org/annali <http://www.ibiblio.org/annali> *Colleagues who have accepted to review books should submit their reviews before the next deadline (June 30, 2008), so that the review may appear in the 2008 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 the Editor again. *IMPORTANT* /Annali /is considering, as of the 2008 issue, to implement the following praxis concerning book reviews: 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, the new praxis would entail publishing the reviews, with consecutive page numbers, only online, where the entire section of reviews (Bookshelf) is already available as of the 1998 issue. The reasons for this change are many, and they are practical and financial as well as academic and scholarly. *I welcome the reviewers’ feedback on this matter.* * * * Books Received* *January 15, 2008* */Arzanà.
