Career

In 1977, Lepschy and her husband Giulio Lepschy co-published a book titled The Italian Language Today through Hutchinson & Co. Publishers. The Italian Language Today is a reference book meant to provide an outline of the Italian language and grammar of contemporary Italian.[3] She later co-edited a collection of essays titled Book Production and Letters in the Western European Renaissance:Essays in Honour of Conor Fahy.[4] By 1994, Lepschy was the recipient of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic[5] and later with the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity.[6]

In 1984, Lepschy was appointed a Head of the Italian Department at the University College London and founded the Centre for Italian Studies.[5] While teaching, Lepschy co-edited a book with Verina R. Jones titled With a Pen in Her Hand: Women and Writing in Italy in the Nineteenth Century and beyond. The book was a collection of essays delivered at the Conference on Women and Writing in Nineteenth-Century Italy in February 1997.[7] In 2002, Lepschy co-edited another book titled Multilingualism in Italy, Past and Present with Arturo Tosi.[8]

In 2011, Lepschy was the recipient of the Serena Medal from the British Academy.[9]
