Debate of the Romance of the Rose (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe)

by Christine De Pizan (Author), David F. Hult (Translator)

Synopsis

In 1401, Christine de Pizan (1365-1430?), one of the most renowned and prolific woman writers of the Middle Ages, wrote a letter to the provost of Lille criticizing the highly popular and widely read "Romance of the Rose" for its blatant and unwarranted misogynistic depictions of women. This work gives context to this debate.
