Produktbeschreibung

In response to a growing interest, among historians as well as literary critics, in women's use of the epistolary genre, Women's Letters Across Europe 1400-1700 analyzes persuasive techniques in the personal correspondence of late medieval and early modern women. It includes studies of some well-known women, and of others less-known or unknown in history. Comprehensive in scope, this work examines women from England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands, and from various levels of society, encompassing the nobility, the gentry, the middle class, and the poor.
