A Veil of Silence: Women and Sound in Renaissance Italy - I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History

Julia Rombough explores the regulation of sound in women’s residential institutions in early modern Florence. Silence was tied to ideals of feminine purity and spiritual discipline, yet enclosed women still laughed, shouted, sang, and conversed. A Veil of Silence offers a revealing history of the political and spiritual meanings of the senses.
