The Book of the Courtesans - Susan Griffin
A Catalogue of Their Virtues
KORTE INHOUD
The great courtesans charmed some of Europe's most illustrious men, gaining, riches, power, education, and sexual freedom in a time when most women were denied all of these. They inspired artists and writers from Praxiteles to Proust.
This book tells the stories of these women, including Imperia of sixteenth-century Rome, who personified the Renaissance ideal of beauty, Mme. de Pompadour, the arbiter of fashion in eighteenth-century Paris and Versailles; and Liane de Pougy, known in France during the Belle Epoque as "Our National Courtesan"
Griffin categorizes the courtesans' extraordinary abilities, skills, and talents as their virtues: Timing, Beauty, Cheek, Brilliance, Gaiety, Grace and Charm.
