Angelo Deidda is Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Cagliari. His research interests cover various aspects of early modern and twentieth century literature. His publications have focused on Shakespeare’s “poetics of loss” in the plays and in the Sonnets, Sidney’s Petrarchism, William Thomas and Italy, English broadside ballads, early modern descriptions of Sardinia, and M. Cavendish’s CCXI Sociable Letters. He has also published on Joyce’s and Eliot’s ironic strategies, Orwell’s anti-totalitarian commitment, and Nation-building in the British Isles. He is currently working on a study concerning the expression of interiority in Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and on the intersections between Sidney’s Astrophel and Stella, Boccaccio’s Filostrato and Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde.
