New Modes of Materiality in the Angoysses douloureuses qui procedent d’amours (1538) by Hélisenne de Crenne
This article moves outside the conventional methodologies of visual and literary studies and material bibliography to produce a reading of the Angoysses douloureuses that demonstrates how the text and the material object of the book can be read together to recreate inscribed reading practices, including those of women readers in addition to the reading communities (of women) evoked by the text alone. The narrative of the Angoysses douloureuses di…

The Ideas of Man and Woman in Renaissance France
This is a timely and engaging book which seeks to place theoretical debates regarding notions of male and female virtue in their socio-historical contexts. Warner’s introduction deftly exposes the issues at stake in the sixteenth-century preoccupation with debates concerning the dignity of man and their female parallel, the querelle des femmes. These arguments are crystallized at the end of the introduction in her discussion of a recycled woodcut…
An Emerging Female Readership of Print in Sixteenth-Century France? Pierre de Changy's Translation of the De institutione feminae Christianae by Juan Luis Vives
This article explores the role of adaptive translations into the vernacular, title pages, prefatory material, format, and representations of reading as indicators of an emerging female readership of print in sixteenth-century France. The example of the Institution de la femme chrestienne demonstrates the role of translation in broadening the readership of an established humanist conduct book by Juan Luis Vives to include women who, according to t…

Femmes en fleurs, femmes en corps
This volume brings together essays which develop diverse aspects of the conceptualisation of the female body in early modern France. Women rarely wrote about their own bodies in the early modern era, especially in ways that reflected the reality of their experiences of menstruation, fertility and the ‘menopause’ (a term in use only since the nineteenth century). This book unites case studies of different modes of writing about women's bodies in o…
Rereading Lucretia in the Angoysses douloureuses qui procedent d'amours (1538)
This article examines the multiple resonances of the Lucretia narrative in the 1538 romance penned by Hélisenne de Crenne, the Angoysses douloureuses qui procedent d’amours . Although the work is famous for its representation of female love as sensual, irrational and tragic (qualities shared by the example of Dido) the references to Lucretia enabled readers to activate moralizing and sententious discourses that supplemented and in some cases modi…
