My attention to this writer has shifted from an initial exploration of the various characteristics of her production to what I now view as the principal lens for interpreting Neera’s role and work: positioning her inside a matrilineal family tree within the Italian literary landscape, one that recognizes the importance of her legacy as literary mother to the numerous Italian women writers that followed. My essay considers Neera’s significance today from this perspective while also reflecting upon evolving critical trends within Italianistica. 2022-09-15T20:08:15Z 2022-09-15T20:08:15Z 2022 chapter ONIX_20220915_9788855185974_122 2420-8361 9788855185974 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58326 eng Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 978-88-5518-597-4_7.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-597-4_7 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-597-4.07 10.36253/978-88-5518-597-4.07 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855185974 66 12 Florence open access
