Summary

"This volume presents for the first time in English translation a selection of short stories written by some of the most accomplished and acclaimed women authors of nineteenth-century Italy. The stories in this anthology reflect the lives and concerns of women at a time when Italy was going through major social and political change, and thus provide a useful source for critical investigation of cultural production and identity formation in nineteenth-century Italy."--BOOK JACKET.
