Emblems of Eloquence: Opera and Women’s Voices in Seventeenth-Century Venice

Drawing upon a complex web of early modern sources and ancient texts, this study is a treatment of women, gender and sexuality in 17th-century opera. It explores the operatic manifestations of female chastity, power, transvestism, androgyny and desire.
