Publishing women : salons, the presses, and the Counter-Reformation in sixteenth-century Italy
"Focusing on the collective publication process, Diana Robin portrays communities in Naples, Venice, Rome, Siena, and Florence, where women engaged in activities that ranged from establishing literary salons to promoting religious reform. Moreover, she situates these literary activities in the midst of important local events - such as the siege of Siena, a popular revolt in Naples that ended in a bloody massacre, and a Saturday bonfire that destroyed 10,000 heretical books - and shows how they impacted one another."--Jacket
