The 100 poems presented in this volume represent a broad
cross-section of Isabella Andreini's lyric poetry, both in its
original language and in verse translations. Of the nearly 500
poems published in Andreini's two books of Rime in the first decade
of the seventeenth century, the 100 included here optimally
demonstrate Andreini's range of style, the diversity of genres in
which she composed, her views on Renaissance court society, and her
interactions with other poets and patrons of the late sixteenth
century. An extensive historical and analytical introduction aims
to deepen the reader's understanding of Andreini, and hopefully, to
inspire further study of this poet's little-known writings,
including her Fragmenti d'alcune scritture, and the remaining large
share of her lyric poetry. Students and researchers specializing in
comparative literatures, women's studies, and Italian studies will
find this a helpful addition to their discipline.
