“Angoli di mondo, luoghi dell’anima. I romanzi di Marilynne Robinson”, offers the first comprehensive study of contemporary U.S. writer Marilynne Robinson - her fiction and non-fiction essays – while it considerers religion as the most distinctive quality of her writing. Thus, not only it explores her peculiar focus on the soul of ordinary people, sketched with both the delicate skill and the vividness of a cartoonist, but it also explains the deep meaning of home and nature in her books, so evident in most lyrical description of places – the Mountain West region of Idaho, in Housekeeping, her first novel, and then the upper Middle West of Iowa in the Gilead saga.

Abstract
“Angoli di mondo, luoghi dell’anima. I romanzi di Marilynne Robinson”, offers the first comprehensive study of contemporary U.S. writer Marilynne Robinson - her fiction and non-fiction essays – while it considerers religion as the most distinctive quality of her writing. Thus, not only it explores her peculiar focus on the soul of ordinary people, sketched with both the delicate skill and the vividness of a cartoonist, but it also explains the deep meaning of home and nature in her books, so evident in most lyrical description of places – the Mountain West region of Idaho, in Housekeeping, her first novel, and then the upper Middle West of Iowa in the Gilead saga.
