Relying on the direct study of manuscripts and incunabula, this project challenges the fixed distinction between medieval and early modern texts and reclaims medieval popular epic as a key source for the Furioso. Tracing the formation of the character of the warrior woman, from the amazon to Bradamante, the book analyzes the process of gender construction in early modern Italy. By reading the tension between the representations of women as fighters, lovers, and mothers, this study shows how the warrior woman is a symbolic center for the construction of legitimacy in the complex web of fears and expectations of the Northern Italian Renaissance court"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAmazons in literature 606 $aGenealogy in literature 606 $aIntertextuality 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aAmazons in literature. 615 0$aGenealogy in literature. 615 0$aIntertextuality. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a851/.3 686 $aLIT011000$aLIT004200$aSOC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aStoppino$b Eleonora$01201144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815231003321 996 $aGenealogies of fiction$94113868 997 $aUNINA
