Kissing the Wild Woman's analysis of this little-known work adds a new dimension to the study of Renaissance aesthetics in relation to art history, Renaissance thought, women's studies, and Italian literature."--Pub. desc. 330 $a"Giulia Bigolina's (ca. 1516-ca. 1569) Urania (ca. 1552) is the oldest known prose romance to have been written by an Italian woman. In Kissing the Wild Woman, Christopher Nissen explores the unique aesthetic vision and innovative narrative features of Bigolina's greatest surviving work, in which she fashioned a new type of narrative that combined elements of the romance and the novella and included a polemical treatise on the moral implications of portraiture and the role of women in the arts. 606 $aPainting in literature 606 $aAesthetics in literature 606 $aBeauty, Personal, in literature 607 $aItaly$xCivilization$y1559-1789 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPainting in literature. 615 0$aAesthetics in literature. 615 0$aBeauty, Personal, in literature. 676 $a853/.4 700 $aNissen$b Christopher$01480920 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790108003321 996 $aKissing the wild woman$93697736 997 $aUNINA
