Publisher Synopsis
Meredith Ray and Lynn Westwater have done an excellent job reworking Tarabotti's labyrinthine, often page-long sentences, skillfully breaking them into readable, truly eloquent English equivalents. The notes supporting the translation are very thoroughly researched, extensive and insightful. The introduction is an indispensable guide to Tarabotti's account of convent life. -Elissa Weaver, Professor Emerita of Italian Literature, University of Chicago "Meredith Ray and Lynn Westwater have done an excellent job reworking Tarabotti's labyrinthine, often page-long sentences, skillfully breaking them into readable, truly eloquent English equivalents.
