About this title

Synopsis

Nineteen essays by educators discuss various strategies for teaching Collodi's Pinocchio and its adaptations. Some draw upon the story's 19th-century context, while others explore modern critical approaches. Sample topics include society in post-Unification Italy, the theme of the hero's journey, and the use of the film version in the classroom. A "Materials" section evaluates different editions and translations and suggests some audiovisual and electronic resources. Editor Sherberg teaches Italian at Washington University.
