Reviews
Marilyn Migiel's Veronica Franco in Dialogue is an extended study of the fourteen dialogic poems that Franco published in 1575, in each of which a female voice (Franco's) interacts and contrasts with a male voice (left anonymous). Migiel's powerful close readings and probing literary analyses reveal for the first time Franco's full identity as a poet. While earlier works have presented her as above all an iconic woman and protofeminist figure, Migiel's work shows how Franco's consistent and subtle use of important model writers in Latin and Italian makes the poet a highly significant Renaissance author figure. Migiel's analysis will have a substantial impact on the canonical interpretation of Franco and on future analyses of early modern women writers. -- MLA Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Publication Award for a Manuscript in Italian Literary Studies Committee
