Notes

1. The inspiration for this special issue comes from a conference of the same title, organised by Elisa Segnini with the support of the Canadian Social Sciences and the Humanities Research Council, and held at University of British Columbia in Vancouver (31st of March – 2nd of April 2016), and from the discussions originated on the occasion of the Ferrante Fever event held at the University of Leeds on the 13th of October 2016, led by Olivia Santovetti and co-organised by Gigliola Sulis.
