In \u003ci\u003eEnrico; or, Byzantium Conquered\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most ambitious and rewarding of her numerous narrative works, Marinella demonstrates her skill as an epic poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available for the first time in English translation, \u003ci\u003eEnrico\u003c\/i\u003e retells the story of the conquest of Byzantium in the Fourth Crusade (1202-04). Marinella intersperses historical events in her account of the invasion with numerous invented episodes, drawing on the rich imaginative legacy of the chivalric romance. Fast-moving, colorful, and narrated with the zest that characterizes Marinella's other works, this poem is a great example of a woman engaging critically with a quintessentially masculine form and subject matter, writing in a genre in which the work of women poets was typically shunned. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucrezia Marinella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226505472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226505473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Lucrezia Marinella","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086414885119,"sku":"9780226505473","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f104b933-1ee6-45af-8fa6-307b88c9c3fc.jpg?v=1769094538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enrico-or-byzantium-conquered-lucrezia-marinella-9780226505473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
