In Kissing the Wild Woman, Christopher Nissen explores the unique aesthetic vision and innovative narrative features of Bigolina's greatest surviving work, in which she fashioned a new type of narrative that combined elements of the romance and the novella and included a polemical treatise on the moral implications of portraiture and the role of women in the arts. 520 $a Demonstrating that Bigolina challenged cultural authority by rejecting the prevailing views of both painting and literature, Nissen discusses Bigolina's suggestion that painting constituted an ineffectual, even immoral mode of self-promotion for women in relation to the views of the contemporary writer Pietro Aretino and the painter Titian. Kissing the Wild Woman's analysis of this little-known work adds a new dimension to the study of Renaissance aesthetics in relation to art history, Renaissance thought, women's studies, and Italian literature."--pub. desc. 600 10 $a Bigolina, Giulia, $d -1569. $t Urania, nella quale si contiene l'amore d'una giovane di tal nome. $l English & Italian. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2004026021 651 0 $a Italy $x Civilization $y 1559-1789. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068889 650 0 $a Painting in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94007508 650 0 $a Aesthetics in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh93007960 650 0 $a Beauty, Personal, in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85012721 600 16 $a Bigolina, Giulia, $d m. 1569. $t Urania, nelle quale si contiene l'amore d'una giovane de tal nome. 651 6 $a Italie $x Civilisation $y 1559-1789. 650 6 $a Peinture dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a EstheÌtique dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a BeauteÌ corporelle dans la litteÌrature. 830 0 $a Toronto Italian studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95026425 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227015035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B46F4CAEAD411E7BA71765497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
