Description: "This book offers a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the fiction of a Neapolitan novelist and journalist whose work spanned the turn of the nineteenth century and, widely translated, was in her own lifetime the object of both critical and popular acclaim. Serao is placed firmly in her socio-political context, against the background of post-Unification Naples and the prelude to Fascism."--BOOK JACKET.
