Chapter 9
Novels, translations and reviews
A digital enquiry on eighteenth century literary journalism
Andrea Penso | Vrije Universiteit Brussel/University of Guelph
This chapter presents the collaborative research project The reception of the English novel
in the Italian literary press between 1700 and 1830: a transcultural enquiry into the early shaping of the modern
Italian literary and cultural identity (VUB – University of Guelph), aimed at investigating the reception
of English novels in the Italian literary press during the Long Eighteenth Century (1700–1830). Its main purpose is to
uncover how the English novels were introduced to the Italian readership, censored and translated, through the
application of Digital Humanities methodologies of investigation. One of the project goals is in fact to create a
methodological paradigm that may be extended to the study of the reception of English novels in the literary
journalism of other nations.
