This book argues that Lucrezia Marinella should be included in the Italian and European literary canons as a most remarkable contributor. It examines the place that Marinella holds within the dominant literary tradition of seventeenth-century Italy as a writer, as well as a woman who lived within a predominantly patriarchal culture.
