Isabella Morra: Canzoniere

by Isabella Morra

Poetry. A bilingual edition in English and Italian, edited and translated by Isabella Musillo Mitchell. This translation introduces an English-speaking public to one of the unjustly forgotten women poets of the Italian Renaissance, Isabella Musillo. Mitchell renders Isabella's ten sonnets and three canzoni in an English idiom that captures the palable restiveness and the fragile grace of Isabella's Italian ...The volume is a valuable resource for all of us who seek to enhance our knowledge of the diversity of Italian Renaissance culture. With an introduction by Isablla Musillo Mitchell.
