Carmen Gallo is a researcher in English Literature at Sapienza University of Rome. Her research fields are early modern poetry and theatre (with particular attention to the relations between religion and literature), theory and moral aspects in the rise of the novel, modernism (especially T.S. Eliot), Beckett, and more recently contemporary British theatre, in its political and environmental implications (Churchill, Lustgarten). She devoted a monographic essay to the metaphysical poetry of John Donne, George Herbert, and Richard Crashaw, L'altra natura. Eucarestia e poesia nel primo Seicento inglese (Pacini 2018, Mariangela Tempera Book Prize of the Italian Association for Shakespearean and Early Modern Studies). She also published a new annotated translation of Shakespeare and Fletcher's All is True, or Henry VIII in Tutte le opere, edited by F. Marenco (vol. III, Bompiani 2017) and Caryl Churchill's play Lives of Great Poisoners (Ritratti di figure con veleno (Editoria&Spettacolo 2020). She published three books of poetry: the last one, Le fuggitive, won the Premio Napoli 2021. His latest works are a new annotated translation of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land for Il Saggiatore (2021) and W. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for Bur-Rizzoli (2023).
