Anne Paolucci (1926-2012) was an Italian-American writer, scholar, and educator. She was a research professor and chair of the English Department at St. John's University in New York, and a prolific writer who published plays, short stories, novels, poetry, literary criticism, and translations.

Biography

Early life and education

She was born on July 31, 1926, in Rome, Italy.[1] At the age of eight, she moved to New York City with her widowed mother and two siblings. She attended Barnard College, graduating with a B.A. in English in 1947. She studied Italian literature under Giuseppe Prezzolini and Dino Bigongiari at Columbia University, receiving her M.A. in 1950. She spent a year as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Rome. Her doctoral dissertation on The Women in Dante's Divine Comedy and Spenser's Faerie Queene earned her a Woodbridge Honorary Fellowship, and she received a Ph.D. in comparative literature from Columbia in 1963.[2]

Career

Paolucci taught at the City University of New York[3] before joining the faculty of St. John's University in 1969, as the university's first research professor. She chaired the English department for ten years, and in 1982 became director of the doctor of arts degree program in English.[2] For two years she was a Fulbright lecturer on American Drama at the University of Naples. At the invitation of various universities and governments, she traveled the world lecturing on literary topics.[4][6]

In addition to her teaching and scholarly work, Paolucci wrote plays, mystery novels, and award-winning poetry. Her plays have been produced in the United States and internationally. Her first full-length play, The Short Season (1966), was translated into German in 2003 for production in Austria.[2]

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed her to the Fellowship Board of the National Graduate Fellows Program.[1] She received an honorary degree from Lehman College, and was recognized by the Italian government for translating and editing a selection of poems by Giacomo Leopardi. The Order of the Sons of Italy in America honored her with the Elana Cornaro Award in 1993, and the Golden Lion Award in 1997. In 1997 she was chosen by Governor George Pataki to serve on the CUNY board of trustees. Her play about Christopher Columbus won recognition from the U.S. Christopher Columbus Quincentennial Jubilee Commission, and her 1995 poetry collection, Queensboro Bridge and Other Poems, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.[2][6]

Paolucci served as president of the Pirandello Society of America for seventeen years.[2] She founded the Council on National Literatures, an educational foundation for multicomparative literary studies, and edited the Review of National Literatures from 1970 to 2001. She also had a television panel show, Magazines in Focus.[4]

Personal life

She was married to Dr. Henry Paolucci (1921-1998), a professor at St. John's University, and lived with him in Beechhurst, Queens, New York. She died in New York City on July 15, 2012.[5]
