This casebook is an overview of the state of Christine de Pizan studies and a collection of new research in the field. It showcases the major lines of inquiry pursued by leading critics. The book focuses on the historical context of Christine's writing, her intertextual links with other writers of the day, her interest in the status and nature of women, and the production and reception of her works in manuscript.
Christine de Pizan wrote voluminously, commenting on various aspects of the late-medieval society in which she lived. Considered by many to be the first French woman of letters, Christine and her writing have been difficult to place ever since she began putting her thoughts on the page. Although her work was neglected in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, there has been a eruption of Christine studies in recent decades, making her the perfect subject for a casebook. This volume serves as a useful guide to contemporary research exploring Christine's life and work as they reflected and influenced her socio-political milieu.
