| Areas of expertise | My early research interests focused on mid-sixteenth-century Florentine cultural history, but I have also published on modern Italian literature, particularly the feminist author Dacia Maraini. My more recent work has centred on later fifteenth-century Florence, with a series of articles on issues of gender and culture including the work of the religious dramatist Antonia Tanini Pulci (1452-1501), women’s literacy, women and performance, the cultural politics of Lorenzo de’ Medici (1449-92), and epistolary relations between Lorenzo and Ippolita Sforza, Duchess of Calabria. I am currently working on the correspondence of Archbishop Antonino Pierozzi, with Dada degli Adimari in the 1450s and on target audiences of Lorenzo de’ Medici’s Comento de’ miei sonetti. |
