Her work provides a unique cross-cultural window into the rich musical cultures of these cities, but owing to her clandestine existence in France, Bembo's life was shrouded in mystery for almost three centures after her death. In this first-ever biography, Claire Fontijn unveils the enthralling and surprising story of a remarkable woman who moved in the musical, literary, and artistic circles of these European cultural centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaire Fontijn\u003c\/strong\u003e is Phyllis Henderson Carey Professor of Music at Wellesley College, where she teaches courses on Early Music; Opera; Music, Gender and Sexuality; Louis XIV's France; and the German Lied.
