Women Poets of the Italian Renaissance: Courtly Ladies & Courtesans
"Stortoni and Lillie have succeeded marvelously in reproducing the individual style of each poet in fluent and unforced iambic pentameters. An excellent introduction to this important body of literature. [Recommended for] all collections."  --Choice, March 1998, vol. 35, no. 7"This volume is destined to become a focus of discussion and a precise point of reference for English translations from now on." --America Oggi, March 22, 1998"a comprehensive anthology. [these poets] react with a kind of instinctive feminism to the Petrarchan model, which they shift so as to redress the balance of power between the sexes."  --London Times Literary Supplement, May 16, 1997
