More about the book

The collection features poetic love letters from mythological heroines to their absent lovers, captivating Renaissance readers. Understanding their engagement with these letters requires exploring the contexts in which they were encountered, such as whether they were read in Latin or vernacular, used for learning grammar and history, appreciated as love poetry, or viewed as models of epistolary and rhetorical form. This multifaceted approach reveals the rich interplay between literature, education, and moral reflection during the Renaissance.
