Reviews
Fortini Brown's Venetian Bride is scrupulously researched, drawing on archival, printed, a sources in Venice, Crete, Udine, and elsewhere across the Italian mainland. * Holly S. Hurlburt, North Carolina State University, Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal *
The Venetian Bride best serves readers hungry in a general way to explore the Adriatic and Mediterranean worlds over a significant sweep of time without losing the texture of individual protagonists' lives. * Sarah Gwyneth Ross, Boston College *
