Women and Power at the French Court, 1483-1563 explores the ways in
which a range of women " as consorts, regents, mistresses,
factional power players, attendants at court, or as objects of
courtly patronage " wielded power in order to advance individual,
familial, and factional agendas at the early sixteenth-century
French court. Spring-boarding from the burgeoning scholarship of
gender, the political, and power in early modern Europe, the
collection provides a perspective from the French court, from the
reigns of Charles VIII to Henri II, a time when the French court
was a renowned center of culture and at which women played
important roles. Crossdisciplinary in its perspectives, these
essays by historians, art and literary scholars investigate the
dynamic operations of gendered power in political acts, recognized
status as queens and regents, ritualized behaviors such as
gift-giving, educational coteries, and through social networking,
literary and artistic patronage, female authorship, and epistolary
strategies.
