- Abstract
- This study focuses on the international, multilingual literary review Botteghe Oscure (1948-60), which has so far received undeservedly little attention, and its editor, the American-Italian Marguerite Chapin Caetani (1880-1963). In spite of her active role as founder and editor of two modernist anthologies, Marguerite Caetani has long been considered merely as a lady bountiful for the multitude of authors she supported during her forty-year career in publishing. Building on an extensive study of Caetani's correspondence, which includes a great amount of unpublished material, my dissertation presents Marguerite Caetani as a protagonist of twentieth-century transatlantic literature and sheds light on her contribution to the formation of a new literary canon in post-war Italy.
