This Digital Humanities project aims at investigating the reception of 18th-century English novels in Italy by collecting the reviews published on Italian periodicals of the time. She is currently a PhD candidate at VUB, working on the project “Rebuilding post-revolutionary identities in England, France and Italy: the reception, discussion and stigmatization of unruliness in novels through the periodical press (1816-1831)”, funded by FWO and supervised by professor Dirk Vanden Berghe.
