The Writings of Christine de Pizan
Selected and edited by Charity Cannon Willard

Christine de Pizan, France’s first woman of letters, is widely known for her classic The Book of the City of Ladies, but very few of her many other distinguished works has been translated into English. 
The Writings of Christine de Pizan offers lengthy excerpts of nearly all of Christine’s works, in authoritative and gracious translations. Edited by Charity Cannon Willard, the foremost authority on Christine, and rendered into English by major scholars and translators, it presents the full range of Christine de Pizan's accomplishment.

Charity Cannon Willard is internationally recognized as the foremost authority on Christine de Pizan. She is the author of the biography, Christine de Pizan: Her Life and Works, and translator of A Medieval Woman's Mirror of Honor: The Treasury of the City of Ladies. She has edited the critical editions of the Livre de la Paix and (with Eric Hicks) the Livre des Trois Vertus.
