Gabrielle d'Estrées Nearly a Queen -- Conclusion -- Notes -- IndexThis book tells the history of the French Renaissance through the lives of its most prominent queens and mistresses, beginning with Agnès Sorel, the first officially recognized royal mistress in 1444; including Anne of Brittany, Catherine de Medici, Anne Pisseleu, Diane de Poitiers, and Marguerite de Valois, among others; and concluding with Gabrielle d'Estrées, Henry IV's powerful mistress during the 1590s.Wellman shows that women in both roles-queen and mistress-enjoyed great influence over French politics and culture, not to mention over the powerful men with whom they were involved. The book also addresses the enduring mythology surrounding these women, relating captivating tales that uncover much about Renaissance modes of argument, symbols, and values, as well as our own modern preoccupations.QueensFranceBiographyMistressesFranceBiographyRenaissanceFranceFranceKings and rulersBiographyFranceHistory15th centuryFranceHistory16th centuryElectronic books.QueensMistressesRenaissance944/.0209252Wellman Kathleen Anne1951-1026611MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462939103321Queens and mistresses of Renaissance France2441610UNINA04267oam 22007091c 450 991078428110332120200115203623.01-4725-5974-61-280-81405-597866108140531-84731-102-410.5040/9781472559746(CKB)1000000000338436(EBL)270675(OCoLC)476004642(SSID)ssj0000114119(PQKBManifestationID)12026512(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000114119(PQKBWorkID)10101937(PQKB)10471911(MiAaPQ)EBC1772348(MiAaPQ)EBC270675(Au-PeEL)EBL1772348(CaPaEBR)ebr10276186(CaONFJC)MIL81405(OCoLC)893332004(OCoLC)191800445(UtOrBLW)bpp09256114(Au-PeEL)EBL270675(OCoLC)936847292(EXLCZ)99100000000033843620140929d2005 fy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBoundaries of personal property law shares and sub-shares Arianna Pretto-Sakman1st ed.Oxford Portland, Oregon Hart Publishing 2005.1 online resource (273 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-84113-459-7 Includes bibliographical references (pages [221]-235) and indexPART I PROSPECT -- 1 Introduction -- 2 The Condition of Personal Property -- 3 Terminology -- PART II LOCANDA -- 4 Shares as Things -- 5 The First External Boundary: Property as Rights In Rem -- PART III ALIENANDA -- 6 Traditional Modes of Alienation -- 7 New Modes of Alienation -- 8 The Second External Boundary: Property as Alienability -- PART IV VINDICANDA -- 9 Protection of Entitlement to Shares and Sub-shares -- 10 The Third External Boundary: Property as Vindicability -- PART V RETROSPECT -- 11 ConclusionThis study of the boundaries of personal property has an inward and an outward perspective, with the intellectual emphasis on the latter. The inward-looking inquiry considers shares as items of personal property. Nowadays those who think of themselves as shareholders often stand one step removed from the share itself. They hold what this book christens a sub-share. This part of the book asks in what sense shares and sub-shares can be conceived to be things, how those things are alienated, and how they are protected in litigation. The outward-looking inquiry then asks whether personal property can be contemplated as a sub-category of the law of things and, more particularly, as the law of all things locatable in space, alienable, or vindicable in court. The outward inquiry considers three boundaries. Within the law of property the line between realty and personalty proves relatively uncontroversial; the second boundary lies between property and obligations; the third between wealth and non-wealth. The second boundary is the main concern. Respect for it necessitates a differentiation between the law of property in the strict sense and the all-encompassing law of wealth, even where the consequence might be to exclude shares and sub-shares from the law of property. In maintaining the value of careful proprietary taxonomy and in reviving the underlying concepts on which it depends, this book opposes modern scepticism as to the possibility and desirability of precision in legal classification. In these commitments it could fairly be styled a post-modern study of personal property.
