About the Journal

Pirandello Studies: Modern Italian Drama is the annual publication of the Society for Pirandello Studies. 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. 

For any question or informal enquiry, feel free to contact our Editorial Team.

For information on the Society for Pirandello Studies, feel free to contact the President, Dr Enza De Francisci (Enza.DeFrancisci@glasgow.ac.uk).
