Paperback. Condizione: New. 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. Demonstrating that Bigolina challenged cultural authority by rejecting the prevailing views of both painting and literature, Nissen discusses Bigolina's suggestion that painting constituted an ineffectual, even immoral mode of self-promotion for women in relation to the views of the contemporary writer Pietro Aretino and the painter Titian. 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.…

Condizione: as new. Tempe, Ariz. : Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2004. Hardcover. x, 342 pp. (Medieval and Renaissance Texts & Studies, 262). - Giulia Bigolina has been nearly forgotten by modern literary scholars. She was a married woman of the minor nobility who lived in Padua, in Venetian territory, ca. 1516-1569. Although none of her works were published during her lifetime, she did gain considerable local renown as a writer of novellas and other works of prose fiction dealing with love, a literary field to which Italian women of the early modern period almost never contributed because of the risk of public scandal. This critical edition brings together the Italian texts of both of Bigolina's known surviving works, 'Urania: the story of a young woman's love' and her 'Novella of Giulia Camposanpiero and Thesibaldo Vitaliani,' providing as well English translations in facing-page format. The notes and extensive introduction contain the fruits of Christopher Nissen's many years of original research on this author in the libraries of Italy and France. The notes to this edition include descriptions of all of Bigolina's surviving manuscripts, along with details of their textual characteristics and problems of interpretation. All of Bigolina's historical and mythological references are also explained in the notes. This edition aims to make the complete surviving works of this little known but highly significant author available to a wide audience of scholars for the first time, both in English and the original Italian.
