And as Helen Solterer contends, in French medieval culture the representation of women exemplified the use of injurious language. Solterer investigates the debates over women between masters and their disciples. Across a broad range of Old French literature to the early modern Querelle des femmes, she shows how the figure of the female respondent became an instrument for disputing the dominant models of representing women. The female respondent exploited the criterion of injurious language that so preoccupied medieval masters, and she charged master poets ethically and legally with libel. Solterer's work thus illuminates an early, decisive chapter in the history of defamation.ACLS Fellows' Publications.Disputing women in French medieval cultureFrench literatureTo 1500History and criticismWomenFranceHistoryMiddle Ages, 500-1500Women and literatureFranceHistoryQuarreling in literatureLaw and literatureRhetoric, MedievalDialecticFrench literatureHistory and criticismTo 1500FranceWomen and literatureHistoryTo 1500FranceWomenHistoryMiddle Ages, 500-1500Law and literatureHistoryTo 1500Quarreling in literatureRhetoric, MedievalDialecticFranceHistoryMedieval period, 987-1515French literatureHistory and criticism.WomenHistoryWomen and literatureHistory.Quarreling in literature.Law and literature.Rhetoric, Medieval.Dialectic.French literatureHistory and criticismWomen and literatureHistoryWomenHistoryLaw and literatureHistoryQuarreling in literatureRhetoric, MedievalDialectic840.9/352042/0902Solterer Helenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1015477DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996248304803316The Master and Minerva2371549UNISA
