Introduction
Introduction:How Do We Know What Cannot Be Known? James E. Miller (bio) immanuel kant begins the first edition of his seminal 1781 treatise, Critique of Pure Reason, with a sentence that summarizes a dilemma faced by almost all scholars at some time in their scholarly lives. "Human reason," writes Kant—I am citing Norman Kemp Smith's classic English translation—"has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questio…

Sforza in America
The American years (1940–43) were probably the most important in the long exile experience of Carlo Sforza. Acting skillfully, Sforza managed to build a base of support and trust among American officials that enabled him in achieving many of his goals for Italy and for his own future. He became a critical player in the creation of a postwar US–Italian alliance. The price he paid was abandoning the idea of leading an Italian government in exile. H…
Introduction
For as long as rulers have ruled, they have tried to monopolize and control information. The institution of secrecy is as old as the state. But as new media for communication have appeared, it has become more difficult to control the flow of information, just as the rise of democracy as an ideal has made it harder to justify the institution of secrecy. The articles that follow consider the recurring limits to public knowledge of government polici…
Silvio Berlusconi and the traditions of Italian foreign policy
While open to criticism on many levels, the foreign policy of Italy under Silvio Berlusconi does not deviate in many significant ways from traditional approaches, especially on its management of Italy's relations with the United States and the European Union. Italy's ‘exceptionalism’ is also similar to that of many other European states

"That Admirable Italian Gentleman"
On a humid, overcast Friday in June 1987, I left SHAFR's annual meeting in the company of two foreign scholars, an English friend of many years and an Italian on fellowship at Harvard. As we crossed the freshly manicured lawns of the U.S. Naval Academy, my two companions commented on the sessions. They had been entertained and impressed by the lively debate, but were perplexed by a tendency, evident in many of the papers and discussions, as well …

even Freud. They succeed in achieving their aims because their author has read and assimilated everything of importance relating his subject, has carried on an intense, loving involvement with the literature he writes about, and is gifted with a sharply focused critical mind, continually insisting that whatever filaments of knowledge and insight be woven into a web of meaning must be drawn from the texts themselves.

This book is an attempt to approach the work of a leading American novelist from both sides of the looking-glass--from the opposite, but not necessarily opposing, points of view of the writer/creator and the reader/critic. In 1975, while the author was visiting professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, several scholar-critics (among them John W. Aldridge, Wayne C. Booth, and David Madden) were invited to speak about his craft an…
