Book Synopsis Textual Masculinity and the Exchange of Women in Renaissance Venice by : Courtney Quaintance
Book excerpt: Analyzes the pornographic poetry, letters, plays, and verse dialogues written in poet Domenico Venier's social circle, showing how male writers created female characters who were defiled and available to all. Also shows how two women writers with ties to the salon appropriated and transformed these tropes of female sexuality.
