Veronese\u0026amp;#x2019;s account focuses on her unique experience as a peasant girl who came of age among the Venetian elite, and details how she attained a certain renown in and out of Italy by improvising, writing, and publishing her own lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCourting Celebrity \u003c\/i\u003eis a bilingual annotated edition of Veronese\u0026amp;#x2019;s autobiography. To better elucidate Veronese\u0026amp;#x2019;s thinking, the book includes the autobiographical writing of another contemporary Italian poet, Teresa Bandettini, a well-known Tuscan poet-improviser. The book offers a substantial sample of Veronese\u0026amp;#x2019;s poems, translated and in the original. These compositions, together with detailed bibliographical documentation, point to the success of Veronese\u0026amp;#x2019;s autobiographical enterprise and offer an unparalleled view of both high society and popular culture at the time. \u003ci\u003eCourting Celebrity\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates women\u0026amp;#x2019;s practice in two key literary genres, poetry and autobiography, and illuminates the strategies of women\u0026amp;#x2019;s self-fashioning and pursuit of celebrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
