Millicent Marcus
Millicent Marcus specializes in Italian culture from the interdisciplinary perspectives of literature, history and film. She is the author of An Allegory of Form: Literary Self-Consciousness in the Decameron (Stanford French and Italian Studies, l979), Italian Film in the Light of Neorealism (Princeton University Press, l986), Filmmaking by the Book: Italian Cinema and Literary Adaptation (Johns Hopkins University Press, l993), After Fellini: National Cinema in the Postmodern Age (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002) and Italian Film in the Shadow of Auschwitz (University of Toronto Press, 2007), as well as journal articles and encyclopedia entries on her fields of interest. Because literacy in the twenty-first century must be broadened to include the mass media as well as the written text, she brings a cultural studies approach to her teaching and research.
