About This Item
New York: Fordham University Press, 2002. Book. As New. Hardcover. Inscribed by Illustrator(s). 1st Edition. 10 1/2h x 7w. A real nice clean 429 page first edition (stated) hardcover with 1 low in number line. Has a page of errata. Dust jacket has just a touch of wear. Book is inscribed and signed by Irma Jaffe. Presents the life stories of twelve extraordinary women who lived passionately and recorded in poetry their happiness and heartbreaks. Our English translations of their poetry are intended to make their poems seem to speak their thoughts, Includes a CD with sixty-eight of their poems recorded in Italian literature, so that we do in fact hear their thoughts. Several chapters take up some controversial art-historical problems centered on one or another of the women, suggesting possible solutions. This copiously illustrated, interdisciplinary book of 239 poems "poetry-in-context" is not an anthology; together with the CD of readings, and the challenging art-historical discussions of several paintings, it is unique. There is no other similar book..

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
