Miryam Grasso’s research lies at the intersection of authorial philology, textual criticism, and Digital Humanities, with particular attention to the study of the genetic processes of writing and to the digital representation of literary texts. Within this framework, her work combines the analysis of textual variants and archival materials with the development of models for critical editions and digital encoding aimed at the scholarly publication and dissemination of texts. Her research primarily focuses on Italian literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with particular attention to the works of Cesare Pavese, Luigi Pirandello, Federico De Roberto, and Luigi Capuana. It develops both through studies in textual genetics and through the design and implementation of critical and digital editions, contributing to the dialogue between traditional philological methods and computational tools for the analysis and representation of literary texts.
