To put it simply, I believe it is a book that deserves to be purchased (price 29.000 italian lire). I am not an expert in the subject, but I have bought the book since I've been studying the fortune of another myth in European Literature. It deals mainly with Italian, English & Spanish literatures but other works are also mentioned and covers almost all periods (especially the 16th & 17th centuries). You can find in it even Karen Horney & Helen Cixous (briefly). Plus plates & a VERY impressive bibliography. I suppose you can order it at http://www.internetbookshop.it/ or http://www.guida.it/ I hope it is of help. Natalia Agapiou
