Altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - This volume is the first historical introduction to women's writing in France from the sixth Century to the present day. Specially commissioned essays by leading scholars provide the first introduction in English to the wealth and diversity of French women writers, offering new readings and new perspectives. Each chapter focuses on a given period and a ränge of writers, taking account of prevailing sexual ideologies and women's activities in, or their relation to, their social, political, economic and cultural surroundings.The volume as a whole offers a cohesive history of women's writing which has sometimes been obscured by the canonization of a small feminine elite. Complemented by an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary works and a biographical guide to more than one hundred and fifty women writers, it represents an invaluable resource for those wishing to discover or extend their knowledge of French literature written by women. -- Introduction Sonya Stephens -- Female voices in convents, courts and households: the French Middle Ages -- Roberta L.
