Ruth Glynn is Professor of Modern Italian Culture at the University of Bristol, where her expertise ranges across modern and contemporary Italian culture. Current research addresses cultural engagements with Naples and its relationship with Italy, from the Allied Occupation of the city during WW2 to the present day. Previous research explored Italy’s experience of political violence during the anni di piombo, and women’s participation in it, as a form of cultural trauma, while earlier work focused on postmodernist literature and thought.
