Reviews
"This book is very much one to keep at one's elbow in any undertaking concerned with the closing phases of the Hundred Years War; it compels the reader to consider alternate ways of thinking. Adams's latest contribution to the field will appeal to Christinian scholars and others interested in French history, the politics and literature of political crisis, rumour and propaganda, monarchy, queenship, gender and gendered discourse." --Zita Eva Rohr, Gender & History, "[Tracy] Adams has given us a sophisticated presentation that in turn happily gives us a much more complex Christine, but one that could be more complex still by integrating the political Christine back into the humanist and poet Christine. Readers, nonetheless, will find much in this little volume of value that integrates Christine's writings into her fraught and troubled world, and shows us how integrated this world was with Christine's mind." --Gary W. Jenkins, Sixteenth Century Journal, "Adams's analysis is original and deserves to be widely read." --Stephen H. Rigby, English Historical Review, "This book makes a valuable contribution to Christine studies and related fields in its convincing presentation of many exhilarating ideas and approaches to familiar but underquestioned material while introducing new sources. The careful notes, bibliography, and detailed index are all attractively produced. A pleasure to read, it is highly recommended for levels ranging from undergraduates to specialists in French history and literature." --Nadia Margolis Renaissance Quarterly, "In an earlier book, Tracy Adams did great service to the scholarly community by helping dispel the outdated, slanderous fictions surrounding the lives of Isabeau of Bavaria and Louis of Orleans. In this work she continues to apply recent historical research to the task of developing new readings of Christine de Pizan. The result is an up-to-date and very readable history of the conflict between the Burgundians and Armagnacs that offers insightful readings of all of Christine's major works and enhances our understanding of her allegiances and the ways in which her texts responded to the conflict." --Karen Green, Monash University, "This book is very much one to keep at one's elbow in any undertaking concerned with the closing phases of the Hundred Years War; it compels the reader to consider alternate ways of thinking. Adams's latest contribution to the field will appeal to Christinian scholars and others interested in French history, the politics and literature of political crisis, rumour and propaganda, monarchy, queenship, gender and gendered discourse." --Zita Eva Rohr Gender & History, "A short review does not do justice to the significance of this work. Adams successfully situates ('rehistoricizes') a multifaceted literary figure into an extraordinarily complex period in French history, and does so with clarity and sensitivity, providing a most helpful and stimulating resource for scholars and students." -Kate L. Forhan, American Historical Review, "By opening up her literary production to a fresh set of interpretive possibilities, and by asking readers to question their assumptions and accepted narratives about Christine's relationships to the powers of her day, Adams offers a welcome contribution to late medieval literary scholarship." --Daisy Delogu Modern Philology, "This clear and thorough narrative of Christine's engagement with the conflict will be of value to historians and literary scholars alike." --Charlotte E.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
