- Description
- As duchess of Brittany (1491-1514) and twice queen of France (1491-98: 1498-1514), Anne de Bretagne set a benchmark by which to measure the status of female authority in Europe at the dawn of the Renaissance. Although at times a traditional political pawn, when men who ruled her life were involved in reshaping European alliances, Anne was directly or indirectly involved with the principal political and religious European leaders of her time and helped define the cultural landscape of her era. The essays in this book offer insight into areas of intellectual interest : patronage, the history of the book, the power and definition of queenship and the interpretation of politico-cultural documents and court spectacles and are thereby confirming the extensive nature of Anne's legacy
