italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Wow - thanks so much for that, it's exactly what I'm looking for! I found most of it on Google Books: http://books.google.com/books?id=68W257rxRiQC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs _summary_r&cad=0#PPA157,M1 (or http://tinyurl.com/prayub ) but there are some pages not available on that site. Does anyone have access to them?
