italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear Amber, One thing you might try is to search the bookseller site Vialibri.net. They have a short list of books published by Il Momento (short because, being a booksellers' site, they only list books currently for sale). I use this site all the time in my research, and some (by no means all) of the bibliographic entries are very thorough, detailed, and scrupulously researched, and really constitute mini-scholarly articles in themselves. I think this may be a great as-yet-undiscovered research tool for scholars working in Italian studies. You can search the site by author, title, date published, publisher, and key words. It's a great resource! I hope this is useful.
