A queen who helped define the cultural landscape of her era. 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. Taking a variety of cross-disciplinary perspectives, these ten essays by art historians, literary specialists, historians, and political scientists contribute to the ongoing discussion ofAnne de Bretagne and seek to prompt further investigations into her cultural and political impact. At the same time, they offer insight of a broader nature into related 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 - thereby confirming the extensive nature of Anne's legacy. CYNTHIA J. BROWN is Professor of French at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

What do the physical characteristics of the books acquired by elite women in the late medieval and early modern periods tell us about their owners, and what in particular can their illustrations—especially their illustrations of women—reveal? Centered on Anne, duchess of Brittany and twice queen of France, with reference to her contemporaries and successors, The Queen's Library examines the cultural issues surrounding female modes of empowerment and book production. The book aims to uncover the harmonies and conflicts that surfaced in male-authored, male-illustrated works for and about women. In her interdisciplinary investigation of the cultural and political legacy of Anne of Brittany and her female contemporaries, Cynthia J. Brown argues that the verbal and visual imagery used to represent these women of influence was necessarily complex because of its inherently conflicting portrayal of power and subordination. She contends that it can be understood fully only by drawing on the intersection of pertinent literary, historical, codicological, and art historical sources. In The Queen's Library, Brown examines depictions of women of power in five spheres that tellingly expose this tension: rituals of urban and royal reception; the politics of female personification allegories; the "famous-women" topos; women in mourning; and women mourned.

A biography for teens of a strong, independent woman of the 15th century. Anne of Brittany was only 12 when, in 1488, she became its Duchess, but already she was among the best-educated women of her era and she was determined to preserve the duchy’s independence. At 15 she averted takeover by France when she married its king, Charles VIII, and after he died she married his successor, Louis XII, becoming the only person ever twice crowned Queen of France. Foreword by Sylvia Louise Engdahl, the author’s daughter. Illustrated with 16th-century portraits. “The life of Anne of Brittany is traced in detail against a vivid background of court life during the Renaissance. . . . Useful to schools for its portrayal of the times, this has enough romance to appeal to girls.”—ALA Booklist

« Sa finesse d’esprit est remarquable pour son âge et une fois qu’elle a décidé de faire quelque chose, elle s’efforce d’y parvenir par n’importe quel moyen et à n’importe quel prix. » Érasme Brasca, ambassadeur de Venise Si elle est devenue une reine aux contours parfois insaisissables, c’est parce qu’Anne de Bretagne a servi trop de maîtres après sa mort. On la voudrait fidèle à la France parce qu’elle fut reine, fidèle à la Bretagne parce qu’elle est née bretonne, fidèle à son père parce qu’elle lui promit de ne jamais assujettir son duché, fidèle à son peuple qui comptait sur elle, fidèle à son époux – mais lequel ? Charles VIII ou Louis XII –, fidèle à ses fils morts trop jeunes, fidèle à ses filles, comme elle éloignées du trône. Sa vie intense et fascinante, ses voyages et ses pèlerinages symboliques, contribuèrent à élaborer ce personnage mythique. Il est temps de retracer le portrait intime de cette femme de tête entourée d’hommes de pouvoir. Car, reine et duchesse, Anne de Bretagne fut aussi et d’abord une femme de son temps.
