The first original chivalric poem written by an Italian woman, "Floridoro" imbues a strong feminist ethos into a hypermasculine genre. Dotted with the usual characteristicsOCodark forests, illusory palaces, enchanted islands, seductive sorceresses"OCoFloridoro" is the story of the two greatest knights of a bygone age: the handsome Floridoro, who risks everything for love, and the beautiful Risamante, who helps women in distress while onaa quest for her inheritance. Throughout, Moderata Fonte (1555OCo92) vehemently defends womenOCOs capacity to rival male prowess in traditionally male-dominated spheres. And her open criticism of womenOCOs lack of education is echoed in the plights of various female characters who must depend on unreliable men.
First published in 1581, "Floridoro" remains a vivacious and inventive narrative by a singular poet.
