Mademoiselle de Montpensier: Writings, Chateaux, and Female
Self-Construction in Early Modern France examines questions of
self-construction in the works of Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orleans,
Duchesse de Montpensier (1627-1693), the wealthiest unmarried woman
in Europe at the time, a pro-women advocate, author of memoirs,
letters and novels, and the commissioner of four chateaux and other
buildings throughout France, including Saint-Fargeau,
Champigny-sur-Veude, Eu, and Choisy-le-roi. An NEH-funded project,
this study explores the interplay between writing and the symbolic
import of chateaux to examine Montpensier's strategies to establish
herself as a woman with autonomy and power in early modern France.
