Filled with scenes of intense and suspenseful battles contrasted with romantic episodes, Scanderbeide combines the action and fantasy characteristic of the genre with analysis of its characters' motivations. In selecting a military campaign as her material and epic poetry as her medium, Margherita Sarrocchi (1560?-1617) not only engages in the masculine subjects of political conflict and warfare but also tackles a genre that was, until that point, the sole purview of men. First published posthumously in 1623, Scanderbeide reemerges here in an adroit English prose translation that maintains the suspense of the original text and gives ample context to its rich cultural implications. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 610 $ahero, heroics, heroic, george scanderbeg, king, ruler, epirus, history, historical, academic, scholarly, research, epic, women, womens studies, feminist, feminism, 15th century, renaissance, albania, warrior, prince, relationships, war, ottoman, empire, empirical, poetry, poetics, masculine, politics, political, canto, translation, prose. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a851/.5 700 $aSarrocchi$b Margherita$fca. 1560-1617.$01158949 701 $aRussell$b Rinaldina$0151956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784502603321 996 $aScanderbeide$93864542 997 $aUNINA
