摘要

玛格丽塔·科斯塔(约1610 - 1657年后)在阿诺河畔发现了她的喜剧之声。在1639年写给她的情书中，她向乔凡·卡洛·德·美第奇王子致敬，回忆起在她到达托斯卡纳海岸之前，命运的残酷曲折如何让她的生活充满悲伤。现在，在美第奇风格的佛罗伦萨青翠的田野里，她受到了对爱的憧憬的启发，写下了各种各样的爱。她在“充满叹息的书页”里写满了人类情感的矛盾起伏:战争与和平、欢乐与痛苦、娱乐与心痛。她在这里扮演大力神，在那里扮演火星，然后是维纳斯，用男性和女性的声音说话，她在她的书信中添加了歌词，即使是最冷酷的人也会感动。在她指导爱的仆人的声明中，包括承诺提供scherzi，在这里被理解为笑话或俏皮的戏谑，表明科斯塔对幽默主题的参与几乎是前所未有的

Exceptional Bodies and Ludic Lovers: Humor, Disability, and the Grotesque in Margherita Costa’s Lettere amorose (1639)

Margherita Costa (ca. 1610–after 1657) found her comedic voice along the banks of the Arno. Addressing Prince Giovan Carlo de’Medici in the dedicatory letter to her 1639 Lettere amorose, she recalls how cruel twists of fortune beset her life with sorrow before her arrival on Tuscan shores. Now among the verdant fields of Medicean Florence, she was inspired by a vision of Amor to write about love in all of its many guises. She filled her “sigh-filled pages” with the contradictory highs and lows of human affections: war and peace, joy and pain, amusement and heartache. Posing here as Hercules, there as Mars, and then Venus, ventriloquizing bothmale and female voices, she added lyrics to her epistles to move even the most hardened of hearts. Included among her claims to instruct Love’s servants are promises to deliver scherzi, here understood as jokes or playful banter, signaling Costa’s engagement with humorous subjects virtually unprecedented in
