ts HU (Cross-listed in Comparative Literatu re B3 02 and Gender and Sexuality G.Armstrong This study of selected women authors from the French Middle Ages, Renaissance and Classical period-among them Marie de France, the trobairitz, Christine de Pisan, Marguerite de Navarre and Madame de Lafayette-examines the way in which they appropriate and transform the male writing tradition and define themselves as self-conscious artists within or outside it. Particular attention will be paid to identifying recurring concerns and structures in their works, and to assessing their importance to female writing; among them, the poetics of silence, reproduction as a metaphor for artistic creation, and sociopolitical engagement.
