“These, fortunately, offer an abundance of perceptive comment on Pirandello and especially on the plays. Previous translations of the plays are too numerous to be listed here, but there is no complete English edition of Pirandello’s theatre. The four-volume set of Collected Plays edited by Robert Rietti for Calder (1987–95) is the most substantial compilation to date, but omitted much of the later work for copyright reasons: it is now being re-edited and completed for Alma Classics. Pirandello’s abundant production of short stories is still under-represented in translation. Biography and Autobiography Giudice, Gaspare, Pirandello: A Biography, trans. [and abridged] Alistair Hamilton (London, 1975). Pirandello’s Love Letters to Marta Abba, trans. and ed. Benito Ortolani (Princeton, 1994). Fiction One, No One, One Hundred Thousand, trans. William Weaver (New York, 1990). The Late Mattia Pascal, trans.
