Description for The Rule of Women in Early Modern Europe
Paperback. A transnational comparison of women rulers and women's sovereignty throughout Europe Editor(s): Cruz, Anne J.; Suzuki, Mihoko. Num Pages: 240 pages, 18 black and white photographs. BIC Classification: 3JB; HB; JFSJ1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 228 x 155 x 16. Weight in Grams: 392.
This collection brings a transcultural and transnational perspective to the study of early modern women rulers and female sovereignty, a topic that has until now been examined through the lens of a single nation. Contributors to the volume juxtapose rulers from different countries, including well-known sovereigns such as Isabel of Castile and Elizabeth Tudor, as well as other less widely studied figures Isabeau of Bavaria, Jeanne d'Albret, Isabel Clara Eugenia, Juana of Austria, and Catherine of Brandenburg. Several essays also focus on the representations of foreign rulers such as Catherine de' Medici in England and Elizabeth I in France.
