		Beja, her birthplace, was the chief garrison town of that province, itself the principal theatre of the twenty-eight years' war with Spain that followed the Portuguese revolution of 1640, and her widowed father, occupied with administrative and military commissions, placed Marianna in her childhood in the wealthy convent of the Conception for security and education.
		There are signs in the fifth letter that Marianna had begun to conquer her passion, and after a life of rigid penance, accompanied by much suffering, she died at the age of eighty-three.
		In 1810, however, Boissonade discovered Marianna's name written in a copy of the first edition by a contemporary hand, and the veracity of this ascription has been placed beyond doubt by the recent investigations of Luciano Cordeiro, who found a tradition in Beja connecting the French captain and the Portuguese nun.

		Marianna Alcoforado (1640 - 1723), Portuguese authoress, writer of the Letters of a Portuguese Nun, was the daughter of a landed proprietor in Alemtejo.
		These five short letters written by Marianna to "expostulate her desertion" form one of the few documents of extreme human experience, and reveal a passion which in the course of two centuries has lost nothing of its heat.
		Perhaps their dominant note is reality, and, sad reading as they are from the moral standpoint, their absolute candour, exquisite tenderness and entire self-abandonment have excited the wonder and admiration of great men and women in every age, from Madame de Sévigné to WE Gladstone.

	OFFOFFOFF theater review CARTAS play with Myriam Cyr
		Unrequited love is quite a burden to bear, but few bore it with such passion and eloquence as Marianna Alcoforado, a 17th-century Portuguese nun who is the subject of this engrossing one-woman show playing through April 15 at the Culture Project.
		Myriam Cyr plays Alcoforado, who, although living in a convent since the age of 12, managed to have an affair with Noel Bottin, a mercenary given the title of Compte de Chamilly by the king of France.
		For two centuries it was thought that they were written by a man until research in the 1800s gave Alcoforado her due.

	Romanic Review: Poststructuralist feminism and the imaginary women writer: The Lettres Portugaises
		Unless one is rigorously poststructuralist in these matters, it is possible to refer to the "author" of a published work as being the "writer" of the work, as in the following statement: Guilleragues, the French author of an epistolary masterpiece, wrote, or is the writer of, the Lettres portugaises.
		Unlike Guilleragues, Marianna could never be an "author" in the fullness of the term, even if "Marianna Alcoforado" were now the sole name on the title page of the published letters.
		The authorial "Marianna" who figures in Kamuf's piece is in other words not the Marianna presented to us by Luciano Cordeiro, nor does she bear the same name.
