The Fairleigh Dickinson University Press series in Italian studies
Summary note
"In the first complete study to be published in English, author Paola Irene Galli Mastrodonato defines Emilio Salgari as a postcolonial author ante litteram. This work examines Salgari's widely read and translated adventure novels and their challenge of common notions of orientalism, the subaltern, and hybridity"-- Provided by publisher.
