A Charitable Remonstrance Addressed To The Wives And Maidens Of France Touching Their Dissolute Adornments: Together With Two Curious Elegies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781179076294)

"A Charitable Remonstrance Addressed To The Wives And Maidens Of France Touching Their Dissolute Adornments," together with "Two Curious Elegies," offers a fascinating glimpse into 17th-century French society. Written by Antoine Estienne, this work provides a critical commentary on the fashions and morals of the time. Estienne's remonstrance serves as both a social critique and a religious exhortation, urging the women of France to adopt more modest and virtuous attire. The inclusion of elegies adds a layer of reflection on themes of morality and mortality. This text is a valuable resource for understanding the social and religious dynamics of early modern France, particularly concerning gender roles and expectations.
