Biographical note
Christine de Pizan (c. 1364–c. 1430) was an Italian-born poet and author who grew up in France. Thelma S. Fenster is professor emerita of French and medieval studies at Fordham University, where she also directed the Medieval Studies Program. She has authored articles about Christine de Pizan and edited Christine’s poetry. Christine Reno is professor emerita of French and Francophone studies at Vassar College, where she also taught in the Women’s Studies Program. She has coedited two editions of Christine de Pizan’s works and coauthored the Album Christine de Pizan.“These new editions and translations of two of Christine’s early works engaging with the misogyny of the <i>Roman de la Rose</i> will be invaluable not only to undergraduate and postgraduate students but also to specialists and readers interested in the later Middle Ages. The new material covered here is a tribute both to the editors’ meticulous scholarship and to the enormous strides made by Christine studies over recent years, particularly in our understanding of the manuscript tradition and Christine’s constant reworking of her texts over time.”—Angus J. Kennedy, University of Glasgow
