His research focuses on the theory and history of the essay in England and North America, from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, with particular attention to the interactions between genres and discursive regimes, and to the relationship between prose and poetry. This interest has extended to the study of English life-writing, from the seventeenth century to the present, with a focus on strategies of masking the author’s biographical identity in essayistic and auto/biographical texts. Other areas of investigation include Anglo-Italian and Anglo-French cultural mediation, with special attention to processes of translation and rewriting, the reception of the classics (Dante, Montaigne, Shakespeare), and the role of cultural mediators; as well as animal symbolism in contemporary literature.
He is the author of the monographs Le voci del saggista (Rome, 2019), Metamorfosi di un genere (Lucca, 2020), and Zoo di racconti (Pavia, 2021), and has published essays in national and international journals (European Romantic Review, Between, La Questione Romantica, E-rea) and in collective volumes (Edinburgh Companion to the Essay). He has also translated works of modern fiction, including Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (BUR, 2024).
