Found in translation: The epistolary friendship of Rosika Schwimmer and Ignazio Silone
This essay foregrounds two figures previously neglected in feminist modernist studies and modernist studies more generally: Rosika Schwimmer and Ignazio Silone.

Schwimmer consulted extensively on Silone’s first novel, Fontamara, a global sensation in its time that has long since fallen into obscurity. She was one of the most conspicuous femin…
Ballet, Folk Dance, and the Cultural History of Interwar Modernism: The Ballet Job
