(P/B) THE TREASURE OF THE CITY OF LADIES
OR THE BOOK OF THE THREE VIRTUES
PIZAN CHRISTINE. DEΚωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-2585
Παρουσίαση
Written by Europe's first professional woman writer, The Treasure of the City of Ladies offers advice and guidance to women of all ages and from all levels of medieval society, from royal courtiers to prostitutes. It paints an intricate picture of daily life in the courts and streets of fifteenth-century France and gives a fascinating glimpse into the practical considerations of running a household, dressing appropriately and maintaining a reputation in all circumstances. Christine de Pizan's book provides a valuable counterbalance to male accounts of life in the middle ages and demonstrates, often with dry humour, how a womans position in society could be made less precarious by following the correct etiquette.This revised edition of Sarah Lawson's landmark translation contains an introduction covering the life and work of Christine de Pizan and an overview of the recent scholarly reappraisal of her writing. Also included are new explanatory notes on the text, a bibliography and a glossary of names. (from the publisher)
