She secured a steady stream of elite patrons--including popes, queens, grand dukes, and influential cardinals --while male poets and librettists wrote celebratory poetry on her behalf. In addition to her appearances as a soprano on the opera stage, Costa published a remarkable fourteen full-length texts across an expanse of genres: burlesque comedy, drama, equestrian ballet, pastoral opera, amorous letters, lyric poetry, and history. Margherita Costa, Diva of the Baroque Court brings together close textual readings of Costa's numerous publications with archival materials detailing her performance itinerary and social-cultural networks. The book progresses chronologically through her life, geographically along the routes she travelled, and thematically via the genres in which she experimented. Jessica Goethals illuminates how Costa was unafraid to leap over the boundaries of decorum that delimited what women should and did write about. More than merely a literary biography, this book is also a portrait of seventeenth-century courts, their concerns, and their entertainments."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Editing History -- Bizzarria, Burlesque, and Buffoonery -- From the Golden Oak to the Weeping Cypress: Epic, Lament, and Dynastic Messaging -- Starry Carousels: Equestrian Ballet and Aristocratic Astronomies -- Singing Saint and the Plumed Bee: Courting the Barberini -- Hunting for Diana, or An Ode to Regents -- "A Change of Sky Does Me No Good": Envy, Rivalry, and Other Courtly Criticisms. 600 10 $a Costa, Margherita, $d active 17th century. 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast 650 0 $a Authors, Italian $z Rome $z Rome $y 17th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sopranos (Singers) $z Rome $z Rome $v Biography. 650 0 $a Courtesans $z Rome $z Rome $v Biography. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Authors, Italian $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822127 650 7 $a Courtesans $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881707 650 7 $a Courts and courtiers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881829 650 7 $a Intellectual life $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Sopranos (Singers) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01126730 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $x Court and courtiers $v Biography. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $x History $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $x Intellectual life $y 17th century. 651 7 $a Italy $z Rome $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204500 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 776 08 $i Online version: $a Goethals, Jessica. $t Margherita Costa, diva of the baroque court. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2023 $z 9781487547325 $z 9781487547325 $w (OCoLC)1375567427 830 0 $a Toronto Italian studies 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219012552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=73CFBD0C9E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
