Moderata Fonte was the pseudonym of Modesta Pozzo (1555-92), a Venetian woman who was something of an anomaly. Neither cloistered in a convent nor as liberated from prevailing codes of decorum as a courtesan might be, Pozzo was a respectable, married mother who produced literature in genres that were commonly considered "masculine"-the chivalric romance and the literary dialogue. This work takes the form of the latter, with Fonte creating a conversation among seven Venetian noblewomen. The dialogue explores nearly every aspect of women's experience in both theoretical and practical terms. These women, who differ in age and experience, take as their broad theme men's curious hostility toward women and possible cures for it. Through this witty and ambitious work, Fonte seeks to elevate women's status to that of men, arguing that women have the same innate abilities as men and, when similarly educated, prove their equals. Through this dialogue, Fonte provides a picture of the private and public lives of Renaissance women, ruminating on their roles in the home, in society, and in the arts. A fine example of Renaissance vernacular literature, this book is also a testament to the enduring issues that women face, including the attempt to reconcile femininity with ambition.Other voice in early modern Europe.WomenEarly works to 1800WomenSocial conditionsEarly works to 1800WomenHistoryRenaissance, 1450-1600Electronic books.WomenWomenSocial conditionsWomenHistory305.4Fonte Moderata1555-1592.402387Cox Virginia221360MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450778703321The worth of women2260023UNINA00945aam a2200241 i 4500991000999809707536101216s2006 it 00 0 ita 887431356Xb13944551-39ule_instBiblioteca Interfacoltàita945.7052Palmieri, Stefano315971La cancelleria del Regno di Sicilia in età angioina /Stefano PalmieriNapoli :Accademia pontaniana,2006217 p. ;24 cm.Quaderni dell'Accademia Pontaniana ;48Napoli <regno>CancelleriaStoriaSec. 13.-14..b1394455102-04-1416-12-10991000999809707536LE002 945.7052 PAL12002000620026le002eE0.00-l- 01010.i1521164216-12-10Cancelleria del Regno di Sicilia in età angioina32819UNISALENTOle00216-12-10ma -itait 30
