As a long-time intimate of the French court, Christine here analyses the origins of the civil strife in which France found itself in 1405, and offers a possible future, callingfor its resolution in the voice of a prophet. Alongside her documentation of the difficulties faced by a medieval woman left widowed early in life, she also explores issues of gender and authorship, interpretation and misinterpretation in her remarkable career as a writer and advisor of princes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Glenda McLeod is Professor Emerita, Gainesville State College; Charity Cannon Willard was Professor Emerita, Ladycliff College.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenda McLeod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184384298X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843842989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Glenda McLeod","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984386556159,"sku":"9781843842989","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6e3bfc1-c284-425c-897a-58a8c8b3919b.jpg?v=1683272015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vision-of-christine-de-glenda-mcleod-9781843842989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
