Dust jacket has just a touch of wear. Book is inscribed and signed by Irma Jaffe. Presents the life stories of twelve extraordinary women who lived passionately and recorded in poetry their happiness and heartbreaks. Our English translations of their poetry are intended to make their poems seem to speak their thoughts, Includes a CD with sixty-eight of their poems recorded in Italian literature, so that we do in fact hear their thoughts. Several chapters take up some controversial art-historical problems centered on one or another of the women, suggesting possible solutions. This copiously illustrated, interdisciplinary book of 239 poems "poetry-in-context" is not an anthology; together with the CD of readings, and the challenging art-historical discussions of several paintings, it is unique.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume presents the life stories of 12 extraordinary women who lived passionately and recorded in poetry their happiness and heartbreaks. The setting is the Italian 16th century, the "cinquecento", the period of the High Renaissance. The focus is on noblewomen, bourgeois women and courtesans. What were they like, and what was life like for them? Their poetry speaks of their hopes, fears, anxieties and, above all, their loves, the blissful woe that was at once the reward and the punishment for their generous-spirited feelings for men who, platonically correct, idealized them but, in truth, hardly appreciated them - even betrayed them. This volume offers an insight into how it felt to be a women in the 16th century - if, that is, one was among the aristocracy or upper bourgeoisie, and had more than a rudimentary education. Besides containing 239 poems, both in the original Italian and in translation, the text also addresses challenging art-historical problems involving one or another of the women and suggests possible solutions. Presents the life stories of twelve extraordinary women who lived passionately and recorded in poetry their happiness and heartbreaks.
