AbstractThis fresh translation of five plays securely authored by Antonia Pulci&;one of the first published women writers in Renaissance Florence&;reveals this gifted dramatist at her finest. Intended primarily for a convent audience, Pulci&;s plays give us a fascinating glimpse into how theatrical expressions of female religiosity were animated by both exemplary female saints&; lives and contemporary debates over marriage and virginity. There is much to recommend in this new bilingual presentation. The translations sparkle; and Weaver&;s elegant, erudite introduction and her publication of new archival materials not only enrich the historical record concerning Pulci&;s life and works but also set it straight.
