Biography

Anna Lanfranchi is a Teaching Fellow in Translation and Transcultural Studies at the University of Warwick. She completed her PhD in Translation and Intercultural Studies at the University of Manchester in 2021. Her research focuses on translation, the history of Italian book publishing, and contemporary issues such as cultural diplomacy and propaganda. Lanfranchi's monograph, 'Translations and Copyright in the Italian Book Trade: Publishers, Agents, and the State (1900-1947)', published by Palgrave in 2024, explores the socio-political implications of intellectual property and translation rights in the British-Italian literary context during the mid-20th century. She has published extensively on the intersections between translation and cultural history, with a particular interest in Fascist Italy and the conflicts arising from totalitarian regimes. Her current projects include research on wartime book programs and the role of literary agents in transnational publishing.
