Mina Loy’s Surrealist Strategies of Renewal by Diane Drouin

“…However, although Loy’s poems may have been influenced by this American “renaissance of poetry,” her often overlooked prose autobiographies in prose – that she began in Paris in the 1920s and completed in New York in the 1940s – should be analyzed in the light of the Surrealist renewal of language. …”

Traces et sens de l'Histoire chez les voyageuses françaises et britanniques dans l'Italie préunitaire (1815-1861) by Nicolas Bourguinat

“…The analysis draws on more than 150 references written and/or published by French and British women: travel books, travel diaries, extracts from autobiographies or memoirs, private letters.  Rather than limiting the study to a few “representative” women, I describe a more general feminine view of Italy as a land of classical culture and of seductive leisure, but also as a foreign and dominated country whose destiny was affected by the accidents of History. …”
