Description:"Teaching French Women Writers of the Renaissance and Reformation" considers the issues critical to teaching recently rediscovered writers, such as Helisenne de Crenne, Pernette du Guillet, and Louise Labe, who have enriched the literary canon by offering alternative perspectives on the social, political, and religious issues of early modern France. Addressing topics from law and medicine to motherhood and aesthetics, these women wrote in nearly every genre, and their works include several literary firsts: the first book of Christian emblems ever published by a woman (Georgette du Montenay), the first published collection of private letters between women in French (the Dames de Roches), and the first full-length memoir by a woman in French (Margaret of Valois).The volume considers techniques for reading women's writing alongside the texts of their male contemporaries and offers guidance on incorporating a range of resources into the classroom. Essays in part 1 explore the background and contexts so crucial for helping students understand how these writers negotiated their entry into the public world of writing. In part 2, contributors discuss specific genres. Part 3 describes critical methodologies that are useful in the classroom and demonstrates the benefits of teaching certain pairings of texts and authors. The fourth and final part recommends a range of electronic and print resources.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
