| Summary: | "The twelve articles in this volume analyse the process of idealization of women in Italy from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, the rhetorical, philosophical, or historical tools used in this process, and how this vision differed from theory to practice. Each article explores a concrete situation in the literary or visual arts in which women, as creators or as consumers or both, engage with those ideals. The ideals themselves are drawn from religious sources, from Neoplatonic philosophy, and from querelle des femmes literature."-- |
