In the 1520s, the French noblewoman Anne de Graville composed two poetic works, based
on older, canonical, male-authored texts: Giovanni Boccaccio's Teseida and Alain Chartier's
Belle dame sans mercy. The first, the Beau roman, she offered to Claude, queen of
France and wife of Francis I, and the second, the Rondeaux, to the king's mother,
Louise of Savoy. With the pro-feminine spin of her rewritings, Anne developed the
legacy of another woman writer from 100 years earlier, Christine de Pizan, by entering
the on-going debate known as the querelle des femmes. Like Christine, Anne sought
to redress the negative view of women found in much contemporary popular literature
and to offer role models for both men and women at the court of Francis I. This book
is the first detailed reconstruction and interpretation of Anne's library and her
collecting practice, showing how they relate to her own writings and her literary
milieu. It also teases out her links to other women writers of the time interested
in the querelle, such as Catherine d'Amboise and Margaret of Navarre. Paying close
attention to literary, manuscript, and artistic sources, it establishes Anne's reputation
as one of the most erudite poets of the period, and one keenly attuned to the position
of women in society as well as to the political sensitivities of the French court
