About the Journal

Pirandello Studies: Modern Italian Drama is the annual publication of The Society for Pirandello Studies in the UK and Ireland. We publish research on the life and works of Luigi Pirandello, including poetry, prose, drama, essays, and film, and comparative studies in which Pirandello plays a substantial part. We also welcome research on Italian drama of the 20th and 21st century, with or without a direct connection to Pirandello. 

Publishers or authors with books for review should send the details by electronic mail to Dr Alessio Aletta.

Arrangements for reviews of theatre productions should be made with Dr E. De Francisci.
