  abstract: Exploring individual and collective formation of gender identities, this book analyses plays in the genre of 'erudite comedy' (commedia erudita), which was extremely popular among elite sixteenth-century Italians. Author Manes investigates five erudite comedies-one each by Ludovico Ariosto, Antonio Landi and Giovan Maria Cecchi, and two by Niccolò Machiavelli, to consider how erudite comedies functioned as ideological battlefields where the gender system of patriarchy was examined, negotiated and critiqued.
  table of contents: Introduction: feminine fatherhood? -- What is a mother's worth? the negotiation of motherhood and virtù in Machiavelli's La mandragola (1518) -- Replacing the father negotiating motherhood and the battle for authority in Machiavelli's Clizia (1525) -- Prescribing the ideal mother in the discourse of humanism and Antonio Landi's Il commodo (1539) -- The father-son conflict and the dysfunction of fatherhood in Giovan Maria Cecchi's La stiava (1546) and Ludovico Ariosto's I suppositi (1509) -- Conclusion: motherhood as the of masculine identity's object of desire.
