Penguin Putnam Inc The Book of the City of Ladies
Book SynopsisA fascinating insight into the debates and controversies about the position of women in medieval culture, written by France's first professional woman of lettersThe pioneering Book of the City of Ladies begins when, feeling frustrated and miserable after reading a male writer's tirade against women, Christine de Pizan has a dreamlike vision where three virtues—Reason, Rectitude and Justice—appear to correct this view. They instruct her to build an allegorical city in which womankind can be defended against slander, its walls and towers constructed from examples of female achievement both from her own day and the past: ranging from warriors, inventors and scholars to prophetesses, artists and saints. Christine de Pizan's spirited defence of her sex was unique for its direct confrontation of the misogyny of her day, and offers a telling insight into the position of women in medieval culture. The Book of the City of Ladies provides positi

Taylor & Francis Ltd Textual and Visual Representations of Power and
Book SynopsisThoroughly interdisciplinary in approach, this volume examines how concepts such as the exercising of power, the distribution of justice, and transgression against the law were treated in both textual and pictorial terms in works produced and circulated in medieval French manuscripts and early printed books. Analysing texts ranging from romances, political allegories, chivalric biographies, and catalogues of famous men and women, through saints' lives, mystery plays and Books of Hours, to works of Roman, canon and customary law, these studies offer new insights into the diverse ways in which the language and imagery of politics and justice permeated French culture, particularly in the later Middle Ages. Organized around three closely related themes - the prince as a just ruler, the figure of the judge, and the role of the queen in relation to matters of justice - the issues addressed in these studies, such as what constitutes a just war, what treatment should be meted out to prisoneTrade Review"The ambitious, overarching themes of power and justice could well have resulted in a disparate collection of miscellaneous essays; the editors are to be commended for a coherent, original collection that makes an original and substantial contribution to an under-considered field of study and will be of great interest to scholars from many disciplines."Hilary Maddocks, The University of Melbourne, Journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern StudiesTable of ContentsContents: Introduction, Rosalind Brown-Grant; Translating power for the Princes of the Blood: Laurent de Premierfait’s Des cas des nobles hommes et femmes, Anne D.

Rowman & Littlefield On Being a Priest Today
Book SynopsisThis important book on priestly identity embraces the many contemporary varieties of priestly ministry: male and female, paid and unpaid, parish and work–based, catholic, evangelical, charismatic. Examining the “root,” the “shape,” and the “fruit” of priestly identity, On Being a Priest Today is essential reading for priests, priests in training, and everyone considering the ministry. Part One “roots” a priest’s human and church life in the theological convictions derived from the Christian understanding of God as being for and with others. Part Two explores the “shape” of priestly life in relation to worship, word, and prayer, each supported by the three key virtues of love, faith, and hope. Part Three examines the “fruit” of priestly life by focusing on three fundamental features of priestly identity: holiness, reconciliation, and blessing. With its applicability to various denominations, this exciting book offers welcome new perspectives on what it means to be a priest today.
