Lo schermo protettivo della traduzione Il caso di Giuseppina Turrisi Colonna, Rosina Muzio Salvo e Concettina Ramondetta Fileti, autrici siciliane di primo Ottocento

This chapter focuses on the contributions by Giuseppina Turrisi Colonna, Concettina Ramondetta Fileti and Rosina Muzio Salvo to the field of translation in early nineteenth-century Sicily. Better known for their patriotic verse in support of the Risorgimento, they also published a range of literary translations, both from the classical languages and English, using translation as a means to shield themselves from widespread criticism against women who devoted themselves to scholarship and writing.
