" Fresh, accurate, and engaging , this new translation of the Book
of the City of Ladies helps us to understand what made Christine de
Pizan so popular with her fifteenth-century contemporaries. The
editors provide a rich historical and philosophical context that
will be very useful to both students and scholars of the history of
political ideas. The translations themselves gracefully navigate
the fine line between accuracy and readability with considerable
charm. Rounding out this portrait of the turmoil of
fifteenth-century France, the volume is enriched by excerpts from
other works, Christine's Vision, the Book of the Body Politic, and
the Lamentation on France's Ills." -Kate Forhan, Emeritus, Siena
