The first old heroic epic authored through a lady, Scanderbeide recounts the exploits of fifteenth-century Albanian warrior-prince George Scanderbeg and his warfare of resistance opposed to the Ottoman sultanate. jam-packed with scenes of extreme and suspenseful battles contrasted with romantic episodes, Scanderbeide combines the motion and fable attribute of the style with research of its characters’ motivations. In making a choice on an army crusade as her fabric and epic poetry as her medium, Margherita Sarrocchi (1560?–1617) not just engages within the masculine topics of political clash and battle but additionally tackles a style that used to be, until eventually that time, the only real purview of men. 

First released posthumously in 1623, Scanderbeide reemerges the following in an adroit English prose translation that continues the suspense of the unique textual content and offers abundant context to its wealthy cultural implications.
