My list here a subset of the main list whereby I highlight the novels and other narrative forms published in this series. [and double checking whether Moore missed any of the novels].


Urania: A Romance, "The first known prose romance written by a woman in Italian" ; cf Moore's first volume, page 290ff. First published in 2002.

Exemplary Tales of Love and Tales of Disillusion, "At the height of María de Zayas’s popularity in the mid-eighteenth century, the number of editions in print of her work was exceeded only by the novels of Cervantes." Exemplary Tales

Floridoro: A Chivalric Romance. "The first original chivalric poem written by an Italian woman."

The Story of Sapho "a self-contained section from Scudéry's novel Artamene Ou Le Grand Cyrus" ;; unfortunate that the pub'ers didn't publish the whole novel. That they didn't pub all of hers which have been English'd already. cf Moore, v II, p203ff, "the queen of historical romances... the bestselling novelist of the 17th century and the first Frenchwoman to support herself by her pen."

Zayde: A Spanish Romance ; "Standing at the critical juncture between traditional romance and early novelistic realism, Zayde is both the swan song of a literary tradition nearly two thousand years old and a harbinger of the modern psychological novel."

Scanderbeide: The Heroic Deeds of George Scanderbeg, King of Epirus, "The first historical heroic epic authored by a woman, Scanderbeide recounts the exploits of fifteenth-century Albanian warrior-prince George Scanderbeg and his war of resistance against the Ottoman sultanate."

Memoirs of the Life of Henriette-Sylvie de Moliere: A Novel ; "Memoirs of the Life of Henriette-Sylvie de Molière, a semi autobiographical novel, portrays an enterprising woman who writes the story of her life, a complex tale that runs counter to social expectations and novelistic conventions" ; cf Moore vII, p245ff.

Flori, a Pastoral Drama: A Bilingual Edition ; "One of the first pastoral dramas published by an Italian woman".

Enrico; or, Byzantium Conquered: A Heroic Poem ; "one of the most ambitious and rewarding of her numerous narrative works, Marinella demonstrates her skill as an epic poet."

Did I miss anything? Of sixty works in the series, only 9 of the narrative/fictional variety. Only three fall within Moore's expansive criteria for the novel (and of those one is a mere extract from a novel). My criteria is more expansive yet ; although if one dropped off the 'fictional' and remained solely with the 'narrative', one could add a few more to the list.

Of the sixty works in the series, one has more than 100 gr=ratings. The majority would appear to have between 0 and 10, with a preponderance of zeros.
