Around the academy of arcadia: Illustrius admitted and illustrious excluded

La Academia de la Arcadia supuso, desde su creación, un excelente auspicio para las mujeres que deseaban ejercer la escritura. Las escritoras de la Arcadia formaron un nutrido grupo que, si bien dentro del canon impuesto, destacó por la calidad de algunas de sus componentes hasta el punto de llegar a formar parte de las antologías masculinas de la época y siglos posteriores. No obstante, no todo fue positivo, pues quedaron fuera de la institución poetas de talento cuyo estilo de vida no congeniaba con el estilo que sus fundadores quisieron imprimir a la Arcadia. Al menos, Cristina Dudley y Teresa Zani, entre otras, vieron su labor poética reconocida en diversas antologías

However, not everything was positive, since talented poets whose lifestyle did not match the style that their founders wanted to impose at the Arcadia were left out of the institution. At least Cristina Dudley and Teresa Zani, among others, saw their poetic work recognized in various anthologies
