Focusing on the first fourteen poems in the \u003ci\u003eTerze rime\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of Franco's poems published in 1575, Migiel looks specifically at back-and-forth exchanges between Franco and an unknown male author. Migiel argues that in order to better understand what Franco is doing in the poetic collection, it is essential to understand how she constructs her identity as author, lover, and sex worker in relation to this unknown male author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eVeronica Franco in Dialogue\u003c\/i\u003e accounts for the moments of ambivalence, uncertainty, and indirectness in Franco's poetry, as well as the polemicism and assertions of triumph. In doing so, it asks readers to consider their ideological investments in the stories we tell about early modern female authors and their cultural production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 9.06 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51340887621855,"sku":"9781487542580","price":111.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/4894\/6655\/files\/SwKA_HSA_l9781487542580.webp?v=1788703772","url":"https:\/\/georbella.com\/products\/veronica-franco-in-dialogue-hardcover","provider":"Georbella","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
