Dear Professor Franco... I am working on such a text as we speak. It introduces a whole gamut of readings, unfortunately it is still in the compiling stages (I started from a series of supplementary materials I did myself for a course I taught at SUNY BUffalo) I am still looking for a publisher, but if you know a way to fast track this, I'm sure we could do some kind of collaborative SUNY Press/Textbook project and get it ready for the Fall of 2000. I f you are intereste din this please reply to my SUNY E-Mail address [log in to unmask] Best reagrds, Dr. Mary WAtt SUNY Buffalo/Brock University On Thu, 21 Oct 1999, Charles Franco wrote: > > > At Stony Brook we are struggling to locate a workable textbook that introduces > readings in Italian literature with notes on authors and genres (from medieval > to modern).
