Selected Poems and Translations
ISBN: 9780226141947 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Madeleine de l'Aubespine (1546-1596), the toast of courtly and literary circles in sixteenth-century Paris, penned beautiful love poems to famous women of her day. The well-connected daughter and wife of prominent French secretaries of state, l'Aubespine was celebrated by her male peers for her erotic lyricism and scathingly original voice.
Rather than adopt the conventional self-effacement that defined female poets of the time, l'Aubespine's speakers are sexual, dominant, and defiant; and her subjects are women who are able to manipulate, rebuke, and even humiliate men. Unavailable... Madeleine de l'Aubespine (1546-1596), the toast of courtly and literary circles in sixteenth-century Paris, penned beautiful love poems to famous wome...

ISBN: 9780226259871 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Veronica Franco (whose life is featured in the motion picture "Dangerous Beauty") was a sixteenth-century Venetian beauty, poet, and protofeminist. This collection captures the frank eroticism and impressive eloquence that set her apart from the chaste, silent woman prescribed by Renaissance gender ideology.
As an "honored courtesan," Franco made her living by arranging to have sexual relations, for a high fee, with the elite of Venice and the many travelers-merchants, ambassadors, even kings-who passed through the city. Courtesans needed to be beautiful, sophisticated in their dress and...

Dante's Interpretive Journey, 1996
ISBN: 9780226259987 / Angielski / Miękka / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Critically engaging the thought of Heidegger, Gadamer, and others, William Franke contributes both to the criticism of Dante's "Divine Comedy" and to the theory of interpretation.
Reading the poem through the lens of hermeneutical theory, Franke focuses particularly on Dante's address to the reader as the site of a disclosure of truth. The event of the poem for its reader becomes potentially an experience of truth both human and divine. While contemporary criticism has concentrated on the historical character of Dante's poem, often insisting on it as undermining the poem's claims to...
