Rinalda Russell, ed. Sister Maria Celeste's Letters to Her Father, Galileo

Italica, Summer, 2002 by Maria C. Pastore Passaro

> The translations--all in plain, and simple language--render effectively the Franciscan bent of Sister Maria Celeste's mind. So factual, so concrete is her world--and her style--that her letters constitute a remarkable chapter in Italian Literary history. Thanks to Rinaldina Russell's translation, it is now possible to think of including these letters in a possible course on late Renaissance women writers.
