And because she was one of the first women to carve out a place for herself in the male-dominated republic of letters, Nogarola served as a crucial role model for generations of aspiring female artists and writers. This volume presents English translations of all of Nogarola's extant works and highlights just how daring and original her convictions were. In her letters and orations, Nogarola elegantly synthesized Greco-Roman thought with biblical teachings. And striding across the stage in public, she lectured the Veronese citizenry on everything from history and religion to politics and morality. But the most influential of Nogarola's works was a performance piece, Dialogue on Adam and Eve, in which she discussed the relative sinfulness of Adam and Eve-thereby opening up a centuries-long debate in Europe on gender and the nature of woman and establishing herself as an important figure in Western intellectual history. This book will be a must read for teachers and students of Women's Studies as well as of Renaissance literature and history.Other voice in early modern Europe.Speeches, addresses, etc., Latin (Medieval and modern)Translations into EnglishWomenItalyVeronaHistoryMiddle Ages, 500-1500SourcesAuthors, Latin (Medieval and modern)ItalyCorrespondenceHumanistsItalyCorrespondenceWomenItalyCorrespondenceItalyIntellectual life1268-1559SourcesVerona (Italy)HistorySourcescollected works, collection, anthology, letters, discussion, bible, biblical, speeches, speech, oratory, classics, classical, female, feminine, feminist, italy, italian, renaissance, role model, women, womens issues, translation, english, greco roman, thinker, intellectual, verona, morals, morality, sin, humanist, western, literature, literary, performance, college, university.Speeches, addresses, etc., Latin (Medieval and modern)WomenHistoryAuthors, Latin (Medieval and modern)HumanistsWomen211/.6/092BNogarola Isotta1418-1466.1499253King Margaret L.1947-297416Robin Diana Maury158311MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784792103321Complete writings3725150UNINA
