ESSAY ON: "Galileo's Daughter" By Dava Sobel

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. The relationship that existed between Galileo and his daughter Virginia, later renamed Suor Maria Celeste after entering a convent at age 13, was unlike most other father/daughter alliances, inasmuch as both individuals drew their very strength of spiritual and mortal existence from the other to the exclusion of virtually all others. The extent to which Galileo treasured the eldest of his three illegitimate children is eloquently captured in Dava Sobel's Galileo's Daughter, a profound and touching account of social expectations and personal triumphs that helped to connect both Galileo and Maria Celeste for life. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
