The article focuses on the modern edition of Isabella Andreini's *Letters*, edited and translated by Paola De Santo and Caterina Mongiat Farina, which provides English-speaking scholars access to this significant work. The editors argue that the *Letters* serve as a unique blend of literature and theatre, showcasing Andreini's mastery of both male and female voices while challenging contemporary gender norms. The volume includes a detailed analysis of the composition and reception of the *Letters*, highlighting Andreini's innovative approach to letter writing and her impact on the genre. This edition is positioned as essential for scholars interested in Andreini's contributions to the commedia dell’arte and early modern literature. [Extracted from the article]
