br. Nell'immaginario comune, le canzoni dei trovatori sono innanzitutto canzoni d'amore. Eppure proprio all'interno di questo corpus, che rappresenta la parte più consistente della loro produzione, non mancano motivi e situazioni che pongono invece in primo piano il rovescio dell'amore: dichiarazioni di abbandono del "servitium amoris", cambi di dama e affermazioni cariche di risentimento verso la donna un tempo amata o verso l'amore stesso. Questa antologia offre una selezione di componimenti tra i più rappresentativi della modalità poetica del disamore, presentandoli in edizioni critiche controllate, rivedute o rifatte ex novo. Il volume è corredato da un'ampia introduzione in cui sono analizzati gli elementi fondanti del disamore e la loro fortuna attraverso i secoli.

"Having survived scandal and the disdain of many a society lady and gentleman in years past, Caterina is now the mistress of her household, and the talented artist behind a successful series of cartoons. But her hard-won independence is far from secure. The political turmoil followiong Napoleon's invasion of Portugal in 1807 has left a vacuum of power and a dangerous climate for liberal freethinkers like Caterina". Book
