Campiglia M. Flori, a Pastoral Drama. A Bilingual Edition

Maddalena Campiglia. Flori, a Pastoral Drama: A Bilingual Edition (The Other Voice in Early Mode Europe) University of Chicago Press 2004 ISBN 0226092224 Пасторальная драма "Флори" поэтессы XVI века Маддалены Кампильи на итальянском языке с параллельным переводом на английский и литературным комментарием. "This is the first-ever critical edition, with translation, of an unusually interesting 16th-century secular drama. [Virginia] Cox and [Lisa] Sampson provide all that the reader encountering this long-neglected work could reasonably ask for: a reliable text, an accurate (though not literal) and readable translation, informative annotation, and a comprehensive, thought-provoking introduction. In that introduction, the editors set author and work in their historical and cultural context and conduct a sustained analysis of the play''s structure and themes that highlights the extent to which awareness of gender issues can contribute to a satisfactory reading of Campiglia's work. The result is an important addition to the steadily growing canon of early mode women's writing, a volume that will also appeal to all readers and scholars of 16th-century drama and the pastoral tradition" (S. Botterill, 'Choice' )
