Jacopo Caviceo's Peregrino (1508) was a popular Renaissance prose
romance in Italy, France, and Spain. Considered the first novel
written for women, Peregrino relates the courtship of two young
lovers from hostile households who succeed in doing what Romeo and
Juliet, among others, could not: reconcile their families and marry
without resorting to suicide. Peregrino features cameos of
historical celebrities who interact with fictitious characters
during their many adventures, which include a Mediterranean
pilgrimage, courtly celebrations, funerals, legal trials, and a
journey to the Other World. The book presents female agency in
psychologically developed characters and contexts and includes
allusions to previous literary masterpieces, such as Homer's epics,
Virgil's Aeneid, and Dante's Divine Comedy. This edition includes a
detailed introduction and a biography of Jacopo Caviceo. Drawing on
critical and comparative studies in a broad range of literary
interests, the book sheds light on the emergence of the modern
novel in the early modern period.
