One of the first pastoral dramas published by an Italian woman,
"Flori" is Maddalena Campiglia's most substantial surviving
literary work and one of the earliest known examples of secular
dramatic writing by a woman in Europe.
Although acclaimed in her day, Campiglia (1553-95) has not
benefited from the recent wave of scholarship that has done much to
enhance the visibility and reputation of contemporaries such as
Isabella Andreini, Moderata Fonte, and Veronica Franco. As this
bilingual, first-ever critical edition of "Flori" illustrates, this
neglect is decidedly unwarranted. "Flori" is a work of great
literary and cultural interest, noteworthy in particular for the
intensity of its focus on the experiences and perceptions of its
female protagonists and their ideals of female autonomy. "Flori"
will be read by those involved in the study of early modern
literature and drama, women's studies, and the study of gender and
sexuality in this period.
