  • Includes canonical texts alongside newly available ones that give fresh perspectives.
  • Selections address topical issues, such as the family strategies of women, attitudes towards non-Italians, and women as patrons of art.
  • Genres represented include correspondence, poetry, the story, dialogue, oratory, and autobiography.
