Liberty, Irreverence, and the Place of Women in Early Modern Italian Culture: Essays in Honour of Letizia Panizza

本書匯集了來自早期現代意大利研究各個學科的論文，專注於由著名意大利學者Letizia Panizza所開創的研究領域。這些論文涵蓋了多個主題，反映了Panizza廣泛的學術興趣，以及對人為學科分隔的拒絕。貢獻來自女性歷史、文化歷史、知識歷史、政治哲學和藝術歷史等領域。內容從喬丹諾·布魯諾（Giordano Bruno）及文藝復興時期對古典哲學家生活的興趣，延伸至意大利學院女性的詩歌、盧多維科·阿里奧斯托（Ludovico Ariosto）的《瘋狂的奧蘭多》（Orlando Furioso）中對女性的描繪，以及皮耶羅·德·美第奇（Piero de Medici）的詩歌。本卷最後包含了關於宗教諷刺、放蕩主義和有爭議的政治著作的論文。本書呈現了早期現代意大利知識、文化和文學歷史領域領先學者的原創新作，旨在吸引知識歷史、哲學史、文學史、女性研究和意大利歷史的學者。
