Writing to Delight: Italian Short Stories by Nineteenth-Century Women Writers (Toronto Italian Studies)

'By recovering the lost masterpieces of Italian women writers, Writing to Delight adds significantly to the burgeoning field of canon revision in Italian studies. These carefully selected short stories, which have not previously been available in English, attest to the rich literary and cultural legacy of Italian women writers, and illustrate convincingly and often poignantly the restrictive ideal of female domesticity so prevalent in 19th century Italy. This is an extremely significant work.' -Laura SalsiniWriting to Delight: Italian Short Stories by Nineteenth-Century Women Writers (Toronto Italian Studies), 2nd Revised edition was published 2006 under ISBN 9780802038746 and ISBN 0802038743.
