Drawing upon different texts, this volume examines the construction of a feminine heroism and its criteria outside the exclusive codes of fiction, especially novelistic ones. The texts analyze the craze for the heroic female figure in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in representations of her as well as in the reception of these representations.
