Book Reviews of Poems and Selected Letters (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe)
Book Review: A woman beyond time
Summary: 5 Stars
Veronica Franco is a woman whose thoughts and deeds have escaped the destruction of vicious men and time. Circumstances led her to lead the life of a courtesan, and her great brain and great body allowed her to see clearly and live well in an era when almost all women, rich and poor, were the chattel of men. Franco's poetry and her letters survive to shed light on a society was leading the Renaissance although it still had many characteristics in common with today's Taliban. Franco is a quiet heroine who was not afraid of her ideas and not ashamed of her sex or of sex. A great lady!
