Christine de Pizan, whether read as lyric poet, prose polemicist or historian, feminist or universal moralist, has become more widely read than any other medieval French author. The attraction of her works continues to grow amongst the general public, as well as among critics and historians of literature, ideas, science and the visual arts, political scientists and philologists, and specialists in feminist theory. Christine intrigues readers by her intellectual paradoxes as much as by her prefiguration of modern attitudes by and toward women.
This collection of essays honors Angus J. Kennedy, an illustrious scholar who has greatly contributed to fostering this modern growth in interest.
