Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Ladies Errant is a brilliant piece of scholarship which makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Ariosto, of early modern representations of gender, and of the ideological dynamics that link gender tightly with other social-political structures. It will be important to anyone interested in questions of gender in the European early modern period."—Albert Russell Ascoli, University of California, Berkeley
"A far-reaching and innovative work with important and suggestive revisions of previous notions of errancy and feminine behavior in Renaissance Italy. Ladies Errant succeeds brilliantly in weaving together texts by providing sophisticated theoretical framings that are at once subtle and powerful."—Margaret F. Rosenthal, University of Southern California
