Miani's tale of the doomed love of the Lydian princess Celinda for the cross–dressed Persian prince Autilio\/Lucinia offers a striking example of the explorative attitude to gender identity that is such a marked characteristic of Italian drama in this period, both within the erudite and the commedia dell'artetradition. Accompanied by Julia Kisacky's sensitive translation, and with a valuable contextualizing introduction by Valeria Finucci, this edition of Celinda makes an important contribution to our understanding of women's place within Italian literary culture in a period increasingly recognized as exceptional for the range and quality of female-authored writing it produced.\"\u003cbr\u003e   * Virginia Cox, New York University *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements ix\u003cbr\u003eEditor’s Introduction\u003cbr\u003eThe Other Voice 1\u003cbr\u003eBiography 7\u003cbr\u003eSituating Miani’s Work: A Survey of Early Modern Drama\u003cbr\u003ePenned by Women 14\u003cbr\u003eThe Pastoral Play Amorosa Speranza 21\u003cbr\u003eThe Tragic Genre 25\u003cbr\u003eCelinda: Structure and Themes 30\u003cbr\u003eThe Fortunes of Valeria Miani 49\u003cbr\u003eNote on the Italian Text 51\u003cbr\u003eNote on Transcription 52\u003cbr\u003eNote on the Translation 53\u003cbr\u003eCelinda, A Tragedy: Italian Text with English Translation on Facing Pages 55\u003cbr\u003eEndnotes to the Translation 370\u003cbr\u003eEditors’ Bibliography 391\u003cbr\u003eIndex 407\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404893987159,"sku":"9780772720757","price":35.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780772720757.jpg?v=1730487968","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/celinda-a-tragedy-a-bilingual-edition-8-other-voice-in-early-modern-europe-the-toronto-9780772720757","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
