Forum Italicum

Aims & Scope

Forum Italicum is a peer-reviewed international journal of Italian Studies based at Stony Brook University, NY, USA, and founded by M.

Ricciardelli in 1967.

The journal is intended as a meeting-place where scholars, critics, and teachers can present their views on the literature, language, and culture of Italy and other countries in relation to Italy.

Young and hitherto unpublished scholars are encouraged to contribute their critical works.

ANVUR (Agenzia Nazionale di Valutazione del Sistema Universitario e della Ricerca) has now awarded Forum Italicum its highest possible ranking, Classe A, in the area of Italian Literature, Critical Theory and Comparative Literature.

The policy of Forum Italicum will remain flexible in order to keep the journal an open meeting-place where scholarly writings together with other contributions of general Italian interest can give the reader a fresh, open outlook on subjects pertaining to the heritage of Italy.

Contributions should normally be in English or Italian.
