Through her work, Scud駻y seeks to contrast the enormous cultural contributions of women with their physical vulnerability and to propose an alternative to sexual violation, as envisioned on the Map of the Land of Tender that charts an imaginary land in the novel and outlines a path toward love. In Scud駻y's version of this tale, Lucrece and her beloved, Brutus, follow the path of tender friendship. Scud駻y contradicts history's characterization of Lucrece as craving glory in the form of fame. Indeed, contrary to ancient sources, Lucrece's glory will be her decision to sacrifice herself secretly for her tender friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Madeleine de Scud駻y\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1649590229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649590220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.98w x 1.02d","brand":"Madeleine de Scud駻y","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993712558335,"sku":"9781649590220","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a33d4b0-4538-4141-a01b-ad2acdb0a60f.jpg?v=1683325878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lucrece-and-brutus-84-madeleine-de-scudry-9781649590220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
