معرفی
Fabio A. Camilletti is Professor of Italian Studies and Literature at the University of Warwick, affiliated with the School of Modern Languages and Cultures. He has held visiting positions at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, IULM Milan, and the Università del Piemonte Orientale, and is set to join the Institute of Languages, Cultures, and Societies, University of London, as a Visiting Research Fellow in 2024–25.
His research focuses on 19th- and 20th-century Italian literature through a comparative and theoretical lens, with core interests in Italian Romanticism (especially Leopardi and Manzoni), the literary afterlife of Dante, and the Gothic and Occulture in Italian and European contexts. He has led major funded projects, including BA and AHRC grants on transnational Gothic and Romanticism.
His recent publications include the monographs Spettri familiari (2024), Manzoni gotico (2023), and The Portrait of Beatrice (2019). His work often explores spectrality, the unconscious, and the intersection of literature with psychoanalysis and visual culture. He has edited critical editions of Fantasmagoriana and early Frankenstein drafts, and translated John Polidori’s writings.
He supervises PhD students on topics ranging from spiritualism to Gothic literature and teaches undergraduate modules on Dante, European Gothic, and Italian storytelling. He is active in academic networks and serves on editorial boards for journals such as Leopardiana and Italian Culture.
