Abstract

The Arcadic background of the “young portoguese” Eleonora de Fonseca Pimentel (Roma 1752-Napoli 1799) lead her to join to the Bourbon movement of reform, also because she was near to Maria Carolina of Austria (1752-1814), who was the Queen of Naples as wife of King Ferdinand IV since 1768. If at the beginning of her career she wrote encomiastic works, then she elaborated Enlightenment ideas in favour of drastic and revolutionary changes. She wanted to eliminate her gentilitial “de” from her surname, sign of nobility, and then she revised the female image of mater (mother) and mulier (woman) in the ‘sensistic’ poetry and in the journalistic prose. Eleonora Fonseca Pimentel transformed the traditional Christian ethics into a collective and political militancy. As a consequence of this, she became Jacobin in a republican view. As a writer, E. F. P. testified women’s liberation until her death penalty according to her heroic will and to love of her country.
