As New, still in publisher's original plastic. // 'Widowed at twenty-five, [Christine de Pizan] turned to writing as a means of support for her three children, her mother, and a niece. She became a public player in the bitter intellectual debate over the merits--or demerits--of the Romance of the Rose, the thirteenth-century French allegory believed by some to malign women. ' 'This Norton Critical Edition presents selections from eighteen of Christine's major works in fresh, contemporary translations. Each text is fully annotated and is accompanied by an introduction placing it in the context of Christine's oeuvre and tracing the literary developments and the historical situation of the period. The Book of Fortune's Transformation and The Book of the City of Ladies include manuscript illuminations. 'Criticism' collects seven important interpretations of the literary and historical aspects of Christine's work, by Jacqueline Cerquiglini, Beatrice Gottlieb, Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski, Sheila Delany, Patricia A. Phillippy, Joel Blanchard, and Kevin Brownlee. A Selected Bibliography is included. ' ~ Publisher.
