Abstract
[...]Weaver's translation is accurate and highly readable, no small feat given the difference in tone between the two works at hand and, more generally, the very complex language that prevailed in the first half of the seventeenth century, both syntactically and lexicographically. Tarabotti, conversely, wrote from the silence and relative isolation of her convent, and for people with whom she would never come in close physical proximity. Let us renew our appreciation for the decades of labor that "The Other Voice in Early Modem Europe" represents, and let us continue our efforts to paying close attention to those who have been shunted away, physically, metaphorically, or both, for centuries, with our gratitude to Weaver for continuing to lead us to uncover and appreciate those who would have otherwise been muzzled.
