---

This book explores the work of a writer, Annie Chartres Vivanti (1866-1942), whobrought a transnational dimension to the marked provincialism of the Italian novel byaddressing issues of gender, ethnicity, and sexuality on personal and internationallevels, and by creating work that distanced itself from much of the female-penned literature ofthe day, scorning both decorum and social respectability. Chapters in this book examineVivanti's output from multiple perspectives, taking into account her politics and hercareer as a journalist, writer, and singer, as well as her literary work.
