A prolific poet and a protofeminist, Christine de Pizan worked
within a sophisticated late medieval court culture and formed an
identity as an authority on her society's preoccupations with
religion, politics, and morality. Her works address various aspects
of misogyny, the appropriate actions of rulers, and the ethical
framework for social conduct. In addition to gaining a readership
in fifteenth-century France, Christine's works influenced writers
in Tudor England and were identified by twentieth-century readers
as important contributions to both the emergence of a professional
literary class and to the intellectual climate that gave rise to
early modern Europe. Part 1 of this volume, ""Materials,"" surveys
the editions in Middle French, translations into modern French and
English, and the many scholarly resources and critical reactions of
the past fifty years. Part 2, ""Approaches,"" provides insights
into various aspects of Christine's works that can be explored with
students, from considerations of genre and form to the themes of
virtue, history, and memory. Teachers of French, English, world
literature, and women's studies will find useful ideas throughout
the volume.
