Reviews

Stefania Buccini, Halls-Bascom Professor of Italian, University of Wisconsin-Madison:

"The publication of the autobiographies of Angela Veronese and Teresa Bandettini, both in their original and in translation, will broaden the scholarly perspective on eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century life writing. Worthy of high praise, this book will also benefit graduate and undergraduate students by providing them with a deeper understanding of the pivotal contribution of women writers to the making of the autobiographical genre."

Susan Dalton, Associate Professor of History, Université de Montréal:

"This important edition of Angela Veronese’s autobiography and poetry, including English translations and a significant critical apparatus, provides a lively portrait of cultural life in the early nineteenth century that will appeal to a wide audience. Featuring many prominent literary figures active in Northern Italy in the period, it stands as a vital resource for students of Italian literature, literary scholars, and historians interested in women authors and intellectual culture."
