Abstract:
Despite the fact that Eco is a world-renowned public intellectual with an evident desire to
contribute to the changes of contemporary Italian society, scholarly literature has given
little attention to the sociopolitical criticism contained in his novels. The fact that Eco is a
scholar has frequently led to his novels being confined to the academic sphere, for which
their author is such an authoritative voice.
