Abstract

This article intends to analise Laura Terracina’s Discorso sopra il Principio di tutti i canti d’Orlando furioso in the context of Querelle des Femmes. The reworking and reinterpretation of the Ariosto work by the Neapolitan women writer constitutes the epic piece of the Querelle, introducing fundamental topics within the debate on dignity and female excellence as genealogy, sorority, auctoritas, defence against male attacks and the denunciation of violence against women that can be found in other previous and later women writers.
