'Echoing Helicon' reconstructs, through the interpretation of painted and intarsia decoration, the roles played by music in such settings.

In this first full length scholarly study of Isabella d'Este and Francesco Gonzaga, Sarah Cockram casts new light on a long misunderstood relationship and shows the couple's strategic teamwork in action. Drawing on largely unpublished archival material, she illuminates tactics of collaboration and double-dealing. She reveals sharing of authority; behind-the-scenes diplomatic activity; epistolary practices and dissimulation; network-building; sexual politics and seduction; court rivalries; Machiavellian intrigues and assassinations.
