About this book

Carlo Levi's Visual Poetics explores the relation of word and image in Carlo Levi's literary works. Lerner investigates the ways in which the dialogue between verbal and iconic systems of representations becomes an instrument of literary and political subversion, and contributes to the definition of Levi's humanistic cultural program.

Reviews

"Lerner's book on Carlo Levi has a great many merits, not least the attention she gives to his much neglected text Quaderno a cancelli." - David Ward, professor of Italian Studies, Wellesley College
