L'Anconitana: The Woman from Ancona (Biblioteca Italiana)

In Italy Angelo Beolco, called Ruzante, is recognized as the most original of the Italian Renaissance dramatists. However, his plays are hardly known in English, mainly because few translators have been able to take on the Pavano dialect Ruzante employed for the character he played. With Nancy Dersofi's vigorous and faithful translation ofL'Anconitana, presented opposite the authoritative version of the Italian text, Ruzante's most successful play is now available to English-speaking audiences for the first time.Ruzante is the author of 'L'Anconitana: The Woman from Ancona (Biblioteca Italiana)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780520085251 and ISBN 0520085256.
