Vergil's Aeneid is reinterpreted as a contest between the heroic ideals of Achilles and Odysseus, rather than a mere combination of their narratives. Joseph Farrell posits that Juno's influence drives the poem towards an Iliadic tragedy, while the narrator seeks an Odyssean comedy. By examining ancient ethical philosophy, he highlights the distinct traits of the two heroes, arguing that Vergil's work reflects a deeper struggle for the identity of its hero and implications for Caesar Augustus's regime. This analysis offers fresh insights into Vergil's intentions and the political context of his epic.

In the official citation explaining the decision to award the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature to Dario Fo, the Swedish Royal Academy stated that he had emulated the jesters of the Middle Ages in scourging authority and upholding the dignity of the downtrodden. It went on to add that with a blend of laughter and gravity, he opens our eyes to abuses and injustices in society: Fo is an extremely serious satirist. Since the award of the Nobel prize, Dario Fo has never stopped writing, performing and painting. He was deeply affected by the death of his wife Franca Rame and has dedicated works to her. This book traces the biography of Dario Fo and Franca Rame from the award of the Nobel prize to the first months of 2015.

He co-edited a History of Italian Theatre, and edited volumes on Carlo Goldoni, Dario Fo, Primo Levi, Carlo Levi, Ugo Betti and on the mafia.

Carlo Levi is often recognized solely for his book, Christ Stopped at Eboli, which chronicles his internal banishment by Fascist authorities to a remote Italian village. This work is celebrated as a masterpiece of anti-Fascist literature and a profound exploration of a marginalized community in Europe. Since its post-war publication, it has gained immense popularity in Italy, Britain, and the USA, remaining in print ever since. Yet, Levi's talents extended far beyond this single work; he was also a notable painter, novelist, journalist, art and social critic, political commentator, and a unique travel writer. His writings on regions he visited, including Sicily, Sardinia, Germany, the USSR, and India, served as reflections on Italy itself. This collection of essays aims to reassess the entirety of Levi’s contributions, highlighting the depth and diversity of his artistic and intellectual legacy. Through this exploration, readers can gain a fuller understanding of Levi as a multifaceted figure whose work transcends the confines of a single narrative.
