Author: Francesca Saggini
Dr Francesca Saggini is Professor in English Literature at the Università degli Studi della Tuscia (Viterbo), Italy. Francesca is the author of, among others, The Gothic Novel and the Stage. Romantic Appropriations (2015, Honourable mention at the ESSE Book Awards), Backstage in the Novel: Frances Burney and the Theater Arts (2012, Walken Cowen Memorial Prize for an outstanding work in eighteenth-century studies). In 2019, she completed a Visiting Research Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh where her project, Frances Burney and the Muses, explored the connection between Burney and the “muses,” a metaphor for the arts and for the feminine creative process. Francesca will undertake a two-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh from July 2021. The fellowship research project aims to restore the cultural depth to Frances Burney's small tragic production that has been lost over time. By using digital methods alongside literary analysis, Francesca intends to construct an expanding multimedia ecology for Burney’s tragedies - a capacious mediascape that aspires to reproduce, through contemporary tools and channels of communication, the Romantic theatre experience.Watching the volcano by Fran Saggini is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0.
