The Dames des Roches excelled in a variety of genres, including poetry, Latin and Italian translations, correspondence, prose dialogues, pastoral drama, and tragicomedy; collected in From Mother and Daughter are selections from their celebrated oeuvre, suffused with an engaging and enduring feminist consciousness. Madeleine and Catherine spent their entire lives in civil war-torn Poitiers, where a siege of the city, vandalism, and desecration of churches fueled their political and religious commentary. Members of an elite literary circle that would inspire salon culture during the next century, the Dames des Roches addressed the issues of the day, including the ravages of religious civil wars, the weak monarchy, education for women, marriage and the family, violence against women, and the status of women intellectuals. Through their collaborative engagement in shared public discourse, both mother and daughter were models of moral, political, and literary agency.Other voice in early modern Europe.French poetry16th centuryMothers and daughtersCorrespondenceles dames des roches, france, french literature, literary, renaissance, madeleine, catherine, women writers, gender studies, 16th century, mother, daughter, family relationships, familial bonds, parent child relationship, poetic authority, poetry, belles lettres, translation, correspondence, letters, prose dialogues, pastoral drama, tragicomedy, feminist, feminism, religion, religious civil wars, war, monarchy, education, marriage, violence, intellectuals, agency, poems.French poetryMothers and daughters841/.3Des Roches Madeleine Neveudame,ca. 1520-1587.1552335Des Roches Catherine Fredonnoitdame,1542-1587.173356Larsen Anne R880981MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784959703321From mother and daughter3812150UNINA
