The volume gathers eleven contributions on the origins, evolution and function of female models in Western culture, from Greco-Roman texts to medieval and Renaissance literature. Organized in four thematic blocks, the book intends to elucidate how misogynistic discourse and its opposite are constructed in literary and didactical works dealing with feminine archetypes.
