Muses at the cloister
The poetic work of Violante do Céu: Literature, music and spirituality at the monastery of Rose, in Lisbon
Why this project?
Despite the efforts of the last 15 years to reinvigorate and study the feminine writing of Modern Age, the understanding of women’s influence in the society of that time, the literature of female authorship remains far from Literary History and Criticism. Individual and in-depth studies are lacking for each author and each work.
What do we want to achieve?
MOISTER aims to achieve an annotated edition of the complete work of VC (promoting a new re-edition of Rimas Várias and the 1st re-edition of Parnaso Lusitano), together with a broad study of VC work.
What ideas do we have?
MOISTER will relate the poetic production of VC with the spiritual and devotional environment of her time, city, convent and religious Order. MOISTER seeks to reconstitute the cultural and devotional environment of this Dominican convent in Lisbon, based on this nun’s work taken as case study.
