Women and the Circulation of Texts in Renaissance Italy (Paperback)

During the Italian Renaissance, laywomen and nuns could take part
in every stage of the circulation of texts of many kinds, old and
new, learned and popular. This first in-depth and integrated
analysis of Italian women's involvement in the material textual
culture of the period shows how they could publish their own works
in manuscript and print and how they promoted the first publication
of works composed by others, acting as patrons or dedicatees. It
describes how they copied manuscripts and helped to make and sell
printed books in collaboration with men, how they received books as
gifts and borrowed or bought them, how they commissioned
manuscripts for themselves and how they might listen to works in
spoken or sung performance. Brian Richardson's richly documented
study demonstrates the powerful social function of books in the
Renaissance: texts-in-motion helped to shape women's lives and
sustain their social and spiritual communities.
