Description
Anne of France (1461-1522), daughter of Louis XI and sister of Charles VIII, was one of the most powerful women of her time. As the fifteenth century drew to a close, Anne composed a series of "enseignements," lessons, for her daughter Suzanne of Bourbon. These instructions represent a distillation of a lifetime''s experience, and are presented through the portrait of an ideal princess to help her negotiate the difficult passage of a woman in the world of politics. The lessons are here translated into English for the first time and accompanied by full introduction, commentary and notes.
Professor Sharon L. Jansen teaches in the Department of English, Pacific Lutheran University.
