ndltd-NEU--neu-rx917b92p2021-05-28T05:22:20Z"Prynte it in his name": gender and the early modern use of Le livre de la cité des dames.Much recent scholarship has investigated and complicated the supposed divide between the medieval and early modern periods. This thesis adds to this already vibrant discussion by studying the translation and printing in 1521 of Christine de Pizan's Le livre de la cité des dames, through studying how the text was translated from French to English, from manuscript to print, and from medieval to early modern. Specifically, this project aims to write a microhistory across a perceived periodic divide, in order to complicate existing narratives of progress. The examination and criticism of this periodic divide informs a discussion of the ways in which gender is similarly restricted. This restriction, as the thesis argues, allows for false narratives of progress, while simultaneously stagnating further discussions around gender.http://hdl.handle.net/2047/D20195410

Much recent scholarship has investigated and complicated the supposed divide between the medieval and early modern periods. This thesis adds to this already vibrant discussion by studying the translation and printing in 1521 of Christine de Pizan's Le livre de la cité des dames, through studying how the text was translated from French to English, from manuscript to print, and from medieval to early modern. Specifically, this project aims to write a microhistory across a
perceived periodic divide, in order to complicate existing narratives of progress. The examination and criticism of this periodic divide informs a discussion of the ways in which gender is similarly restricted. This restriction, as the thesis argues, allows for false narratives of progress, while simultaneously stagnating further discussions around gender.
