The Book of the City of Ladies and Other Writings
Christine de Pizan, Ineke Hardy (transl.)
Edited, with an introduction, by Sophie Bourgault and Rebecca Kingston. Translated by Ineke Hardy.
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".
