839:-
An early Tudor translation of the Cit des dames, a crucial argument written by Christine de Pizan on the importance of women. Christine de Pizan's defense of women against centuries of misogyny, Cit des dames, was the only work of literature translated into English by Brian Anslay, an administrator in the household of King Henry VII. While numerous manuscripts were held in royal and aristocratic libraries, Anslays printed translation enabled a broader range of readers to appreciate the arguments for female rule crucial to the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I. Anslays translation also played a key role in the late-nineteenth-century revival of interest in Christine. This modernization of Anslays Tudor English makes his translation accessible to contemporary readers while preserving the rhythms of early Tudor prose. It includes an extensive introduction and notes highlighting both the history of the language and the cultural references embodied in the text.
