Professors Nicosia and Nicosia Announce their Fourth Collected Volume for 2019-2020

英语教授劳拉·尼科西亚（Laura Nicosia）和兼职教授詹姆斯·尼科西亚（James Nicosia）出版了一本关于青年文学及其对城市生活的宝贵描绘的文集（迈尔斯教育出版社）。 Examining Images of Urban Life gathers contributions from stellar scholars like Sean Connors, Karen Coats and Angel Daniel Matos, and award-winning authors like Benjamin Alire Saénz and e. E. Charlton-Trujillo, who consider how living in a city affects character identity and growth, and the ways authors world-build the urban setting. This collection dispels the media-driven anecdotally propagated preconceptions about city life, and offers scholarly readings of and pedagogical resources for over a dozen YA works.

This is the fourth collection published by the Nicosia duo this year. Previously published during this pandemic year have been the two-volume set Notable American Women Writers (Salem 2020) and a collected volume for Grey House/Salem, Critical Insights: The Pearl (2019). All four collected editions contain contributions by Montclair English Professor Melinda Knight.
