Ph.D., Yale University
Nancy Canepa holds a Ph.D. from Yale University and has taught at Dartmouth since 1989. Her research and teaching center on early modern Italian literature and culture (primarily the seventeenth century), fairy tale studies, folklore and popular culture, and dialect literature. Teaching beginning language courses and directing off-campus programs have also been an integral and rewarding part of her career, as has been teaching in the Comparative Literature and Gender and Womens' Studies Programs. She edited the volume of essays Out of the Woods: The Origins of the Literary Fairy Tale in Italy and France (1997), and her critical work From Court to Forest: Giambattista Basile's Lo cunto de li cunti and the Birth of the Literary Fairy Tale (1999) received a number of awards, including a Modern Languages Association prize. Her translations include Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio (2002), Pinocchio [film directed by Roberto Benigni] (2003), and Giambattista Basile's The Tale of Tales (forthcoming). Current projects are a cultural history of the Italian fairy tale, The Enchanted Boot, and a study of the hybridization of literary genres in the 17th century, Baroque Metamorphoses.
