Barbara K. Altmann, Deborah L. McGrady
Reviews
"Because de Pizan lived and wrote in turbulent times and because she was the first woman to earn a living from her writing, editors Altman and McGrady wisely saw a need for this worthy casebook, which presents both older and newer research in the field." -- Library Journal
"...[a] delightful collection of essays. All chapters are highly readable and carefully documented. The bibliography is a valuable research tool. Highly recommended." -- Choice
"...the research is comprehensive and accompanied by a lengthy introduction. Recommended for academic libraries..." -- Robert Ivey, University of Memphis
"informed, well-developed essays, accompanied by up-to-date bibliographies, which will be useful both for less-experienced students of Christine and for veteran scholars. This is an excellent collection of clear, jargon free studies, offering many perceptive connections among Christine's works." -- Heather Arden, University of Cincinnati, Speculum
