AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Gaetano Rando provides comment on Nievo's Le Isole del Paradiso, a novel which, in its first part, narrates the 'ill-fated atttempt to found the colony of Nouvelle France at Port Breton in New Ireland.' Rando draws our attention to the fact that Australia represents a significant thematic element in the novel, as the Italian emigrants from the failed colony settle eventually in New Italy in northern NSW (49).
Notes
-
The critical commentary is followed by two translated excerpts from Le Isole del Paradiso: Chapter 1, 'The Waterfall' and Chapter 21 'New Italy.'
