| Description: |
A completely new investigation of educated women in pre-modern Europe, based entirely on original archival research in twelve countries, bringing to light an unsuspected treasure trove of women's writing in Latin, and requiring a complete reevaluation of the idea that all women had 'no access to education' before the nineteenth century. It includes a finding guide to women's poetry in Latin, and all texts are translated. |
| Synopsis: |
Women Latin Poets addresses women's relationship to culture between the first century B. C. and the eighteenth century A. D. by studying women's poetry in Latin. Based entirely on original archival research in twelve countries, Stevenson recovers an aspect of history often deemed not to exist: women who achieved public recognition in their own time, sometimes to a startling extent. Presenting, often for the first time, the work of more than three hundred women Latin poets, all translated and included in a comprehensive finding guide, Women Latin Poets substantially revises received opinion on women's participation in, and relation to, elite culture. The sheer number of female Latin poets will require women's historians to completely re-evaluate the idea that all women had 'no access to education' before the nineteenth century. |
