Produktbeschreibung

The first full length study to focus on Judith in early modern French literature, this book breaks new ground in its focus on adaptations of the Bible's Old Testament Book of Judith across a range of early modern French literary genres. It provides a deeper understanding of early modern ideas regarding the role of women, the use of exemplary stories in preaching and teaching, theories of vision, and the importance of community in Renaissance France.
