Standing on the Edge of Two Cultural Worlds: The English-Language Press in Nineteenth-Century Italy.

The article focuses on the numerous English-language periodicals published in Italy during the long nineteenth century. Who were the editors and why, for whom and to what purpose did they engage in this journalistic activity in a foreign country; what mediating role did they play as cultural brokers between their British readers and contemporary Italian society; how did they partake in the cross-border flow of journalistic models; how did they contribute to the building of the British expatriate community and what kind of cultural exchanges did they foster? These are some of the questions the article addresses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
