"Ladies Errant is a brilliant piece of scholarship which makes a
significant contribution to our understanding of Ariosto, of early
modern representations of gender, and of the ideological dynamics
that link gender tightly with other social-political structures. It
will be important to anyone interested in questions of gender in
the European early modern period."—Albert Russell Ascoli,
University of California, Berkeley
"A far-reaching and innovative work with important and suggestive
revisions of previous notions of errancy and feminine behavior in
Renaissance Italy. Ladies Errant succeeds brilliantly in weaving
together texts by providing sophisticated theoretical framings that
are at once subtle and powerful."—Margaret F. Rosenthal, University
of Southern California
