Recenzii

"This informative, even fascinating encyclopedia - unique in its field - is strongly recommended for any collection supporting the liberal arts." - Choice
"Thorough, expansive.... Recommended for all libraries." - Library Journal
"General readers will find this work a valuable source and specialized researchers will likely appreciate the book's wide-ranging topical coverage and additional references. Recommended for any academic or large public library." - Booklist/RBB

Indeed as a source of reference this new Routledge encyclopedia is indispensable - Rivista 377 [Summer 2000]

With more than 1000 entries, this title makes an excellent bookend to The Italian American Experience (LJ 2/1/00). Recommended for all libraries. - Library Journal [July 2000]

'While accessible to the general reader, this unique work serves as a gateway for any scholar delving into the world of modern Italian culture. It is highly recommended. - American reference Books Annual 2000 Edition

The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Italian Culture meets the needs of both the more specialised and general reader, and is well worth a place in any general or specialist reference collection. - Reference Reviews Volume 14, Number 7, 2000

'The newest edition to Routledge's Encyclopedias of Contemporary Culture series is a useful reference for all things Italian in the post-1945 era. Recommended for any academic or large public library with users needing expanded reference coverage of Italy.' - Booklist [November 2000]

'Comprehensive 744-page guide to many artists, writers and thinkers' The Philapelphia Inquirer, Sunday December 10, 2000

' ...as a source of reference this new Routledge encyclopedia is indispensable. Furthermore it should be studied by all those who influence policy in the fields of politics, commerce and public opinion, for it provides insights into the richness and complexity of life in contemporary Italy.' Rivista

'...I gladly recognize that this is a very good reference book which should be in any Italianist's library.' - Modern Italy

'...we can see the Encyclopedia's potential to be much more than a mere source of information; it almost becomes instead a sort of skeletal historiography, offering a framework for an analysis of post-war Italy by way of an intriguing 'hypertextual' web, linking politics, society and culture tightly together.' - Times Literary Supplement

'An excellent reference tool. A broad, reliable overview of the wonders, joys and frustrations of modern Italy. Strongly recommended.' - Reference Reviews, January 2004
