Description
While the pagan heroines of Antiquity are currently enjoying great success and are the subject of numerous feminist revivals, they have aroused the interest of authors and artists since the Middle Ages. Here, we introduce the great founding texts of their entry into French literature, to raise two central questions in this volume: that of the various rewritings and reinterpretations, and that of the construction of one or rather several feminine heroisms, in connection, at the end of the Middle Ages, with the works of Christine de Pizan, the Querelle des femmes and also with the great success of Ovid’s Heroides.
