During and after her marriage, Pulci authored several sacre rappresentazioni-one-act plays on Christian subjects. Often written to be performed by nuns for female audiences, Pulci's plays focus closely on the concerns of women. Exploring the choice that Renaissance women had between marriage, the convent, or uncloistered religious life, Pulci's female characters do not merely glorify the religious life at the expense of the secular. Rather, these women consider and deal with the unwanted advances of men, negligent and abusive husbands and suitors, the dangers of childbearing, and the disappointments of child rearing. They manage households and kingdoms successfully. Pulci's heroines are thoughtful; their capacity for analysis and action regularly resolve the moral, filial, and religious crises of their husbands and admirers. Available in English for the first time, this volume recovers the long muted voice of an early and important female Italian poet and playwright. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aReligious drama, Italian$vTranslations into English 610 $aplay, drama, theater, performing arts, religion, spirituality, women writers, female authors, heroine, kingdom, power, authority, feminism, gender, household management, domesticity, childrearing, childbearing, pregnancy, maternity, maternal, suitors, marriage, domestic violence, husband, abuse, sexual assault, harassment, courtship, love, romance, religious life, cloister, convent, renaissance, audience, nuns, performance, christianity, one-act, sacre rappresentazioni, nonfiction, literature, italy, sacred, vocation, saints. 615 0$aReligious drama, Italian 676 $a852/.3 700 $aPulci$b Antonia$f1452-1501.$0888880 701 $aCook$b James Wyatt$f1932-$01545361 701 $aCook$b Barbara Collier$01545362 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784520303321 996 $aFlorentine drama for convent and festival$93800257 997 $aUNINA
