Speaking through Othea, the goddess of wisdom and prudence, in the guise of instructing Hector of Troy, Christine advises rulers, defends women against misogyny, and articulates complex philosophical and theological ideals. This volume brings together for the first time the two late medieval English translations, Stephen Scrope's precise translation \u003ci\u003eThe Epistle of Othea\u003c\/i\u003e and the anonymous \u003ci\u003eLitel Bibell of Knyghthod\u003c\/i\u003e, once criticized as a flawed translation. With substantial introductions and comprehensive explanatory notes that attend to literary and manuscript traditions, this volume contributes to the reassessment of how each English translator grappled with adapting a French woman's text to English social, political, and literary contexts. These new editions encourage a fresh look at how Christine's ideas fit into and influenced the English literary tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Misty Schieberle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580443850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580443852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Medieval Institute Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Misty Schieberle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065720090879,"sku":"9781580443852","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02ba35a9-68cc-4f3a-a1ff-4772a19d09e8.jpg?v=1768676814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christine-de-pizans-advice-for-misty-schieberle-9781580443852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
