The author of The Love of Three Oranges, Turandot and The Snake Lady is an almost forgotten figure who, despite calling his reminiscences Useless Memoirs, would surely have hated our stage for the neglect we've provided him with. Gozzi was one of Italy's greatest playwrights. This brief biography, an introduction to the three above mentioned plays in translation, is the best that's come along and one should be grateful for it. The plays themselves have until now remained inaccessible and now here they are. Welcome. Stages Until now, three of Gozzi's most influential dramas -- The Love of Three Oranges, Turandot, and The Snake Lady -- have remained inaccessible to English-speaking audiences. This important contribution in theatre studies offers translations of Gozzi's best known works that are accurate, idiomatic, and highly theatrical, promoting awareness of the achievements of the commedia dell'arte and Venice's rich and unique culture in the 18th century. An insightful biographical and critical introduction offers new insights into the work of this influential 18th-century Italian dramatist.
