At the end of his poem, Boiardo tells the tale of the princess Fiordispina's unfulfilled desire for the maiden warrior Bradamante, a story that Ariosto retells in the body of his later work. In Hopeless Love, Mary-Michelle DeCoste examines both versions of the Fiordispina and Bradamante episode using feminist and queer theory. DeCoste then links these treatments of queer female desire to their wider cultural contexts by exploring their antecedents in genres such as medieval romance epic and hagiography and by examining similar tropes in other sixteenth-century romance epics. An important work on a previously overlooked subject, Hopeless Love uncovers the diffusion of queer female desire in Italian literature and promotes a better understanding of sexuality in medieval and Renaissance Europe.Toronto Italian studies.Lesbianism in literatureDesire in literatureCross-dressing in literatureItalian literatureHistory and criticismElectronic books.Lesbianism in literature.Desire in literature.Cross-dressing in literature.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.850.9/3526643DeCoste Mary-Michelle994046MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458635803321Hopeless love2276608UNINA02314nam 2200529 450 991080924260332120230809012828.01-61147-872-3(CKB)3710000000483909(EBL)4086684(SSID)ssj0001555506(PQKBManifestationID)16179471(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001555506(PQKBWorkID)12967684(PQKB)11779729(MiAaPQ)EBC4086684(EXLCZ)99371000000048390920150903h20152015 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrIrenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-making heresy /Adam J.

By examining the histories of early Christians and early Mormons, the study not only highlights social processes at work in the first stages of these new religious movements but also demonstrates the enduring viability of the comparative method for research on religious communities and their beliefs.Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Mormon studies series.Christian heresiesLatter Day Saint churchesDoctrinesChristian heresies.Latter Day Saint churchesDoctrines.273Powell Adam J.892672MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809242603321Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-making heresy4081650UNINA
