"Ambitious and satisfying...deeply relevant to the project of recovering the woman and the poem. The accompanying CD of selected poems read in Italian by various voices is a superb idea...opens the door to its subject better than any book this reviewer knows." --Choice

Synopsis
Irma Jaffe's Shining Eyes, Cruel Fortune will bring readers to an undreamt-of world of intellectual interplay and passionate intensity, set against a backdrop of war, intrigue, and betrayal. Thoroughly researched, it maintains a careful line between well-grounded fact and well-founded speculation. Most of all, it presents us with a gallery of extraordinary women - brilliant, beautiful, fulfilled, frustrated - who knew their worth and hungered for the recognition they deserved. May Shining Eyes, Cruel Fortune find the recognition that it deserves.-Michael Palma, translator of Dante's Infernoespecially suitable for classroom use-H-Net Reviews . . . this is women's history in its most pure form -Jana Byars especially suitable for classroom use -Maria Galli Stampino Ambitious and satisfying...deeply relevant to the project of recovering the woman and the poem. The accompanying CD of selected poems read in Italian by various voices is a superb idea...opens the door to its subject better than any book this reviewer knows. -P. Cullen, CUNY Graduate Center and College of Staten Island, This book 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, and we have included a CD with sixty-eight of their poems recorded in Italian literature, so that we do in fact hear their thoughts. In addition, 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.
