The author of nearly 400 sonnets remarkable for their subtlety, intricate narrative structure, and learned allusions, Battiferra, who was married to the prominent sculptor and architect Bartolomeo Ammannati, traversed an elite literary and artistic network, circulating her verse in a complex and intellectually fecund exchange with some of the most illustrious figures in Italian history. In this bilingual anthology, Victoria Kirkham gathers Battiferra's most essential writing, including newly discovered poems, which provide modern readers with a valuable social chronicle of sixteenth-century Italy and the courtly culture of the Counter-Reformation.Other voice in early modern Europe.Italian poetry16th centuryHistory and criticismItalian poetryHistory and criticism.851/.5Battiferri degli Ammannati Laura1523-1589.169312Kirkham Victoria482098MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814973903321Laura Battiferra and her literary circle4008925UNINA
