Teresa Prudente received her PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Turin (Italy), where she currently teaches and holds a Post-Doctoral Fellowship. She has published articles in The Virginia Woolf Miscellany and in The Journal of the Short Story in English and she has taken part in several international symposia, such as The International Virginia Woolf Conference and the James Joyce International Symposium. She is a contributor for The Modernist Journals Project, for the Literary Encyclopedia and for the Italian monthly review L'indice dei libri del mese. Her research interests and publications focus especially on the theory of the novel, on the relation between Modernism, visual arts and cinema, and on linguistic experimentation. At the moment, she is exploring the connections between Virginia Woolf’s and James Joyce’s writings, and focusing on the linguistic and narrative experiments of Twentieth century Italian, English and American authors.
