| description | Christine de Pizan, one of the earliest known women authors,
wrote the Livre de paix (Book of Peace) between 1412 and
1414, a period of severe corruption and civil unrest in her native
France. The book offered Pizan a platform from which to expound her
views on contemporary politics and to put forth a strict moral code
to which she believed all governments should aspire. The text's
intended recipient was the dauphin, Louis of Guyenne; Christine
felt that Louis had the political and social influence to fill a
void left by years of incompetent leadership. Drawing in equal
parts from the Bible and from classical ethical theory, the
Livre de paix was revolutionary in its timing, viewpoint,
and content.
This volume, edited by Karen Green, Constant J. Mews, and Janice
Pinder, boasts the first full English translation of Pizan's work
along with the original French text. The editors also place the
Livre de paix in historical context, provide a brief
biography of Pizan, and offer insight into the translation
process. |
