摘要:This article locates Isabella Andreini as a self-reflexive mannerist artist who used her incarnation as an idealized neoplatonic innamorata to practise her sixteenth-century petrarchism on the stage. Examples from her poetry, letters and other writings show how consciously she worked to bring her rhetorical skills to bear on her stage performances in order to give her audiences transcendent experiences of the power of Love to transform them, and immortalize her as an artist worthy of eternal fame.
