Though Copia Sulam built a powerful intellectual network, published a popular work on the immortality of the soul, and gained fame for her erudition, her literary career foundered under the weight of slanderous charges against her sexual, professional, and religious integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis first biography of Copia Sulam examines the explosive relationship between gender, religion, and the press in seventeenth-century Venice through a study of the salonnière\u0026amp;#x2019;s literary career. The backdrop to this inquiry is Venice\u0026amp;#x2019;s tumultuous religious, cultural, and political climate and the competitive world of its presses, where men and women, Christians and Jews, alternately collaborated and clashed as they sought to gain a foothold in Europe\u0026amp;#x2019;s most prestigious publishing capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eDramatis Personae \u003cbr\u003eTimeline\u003cbr\u003eNote on the Text\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
