EARLY MODERN FRENCH WOMEN WRITERS:

COURSES USING EMFWW TEXTS

---

• French 3550
  "Marriage in France From Medieval to Modern"
  Professor Susan Noakes, French & Italian
  Students in this course were asked to make use of Christine de Pizan texts in the EMFWW archive. The texts were enriched with additional analytical categories relating to the content of the course. Searching on these categories rendered the texts more accessible to students unfamilar with early modern French.
  
  
• French 5920
  "Topics in Early French Prose (800-1600): Development of the Tale Genre: Fabliau to Marguerite de Navarre"
  Professor Susan Noakes, French & Italian
  One major focus of this course, open to senior majors and graduate students, was the influence of Aristotle's "Ethics" on Marguerite de Navarre. We already hold three of her texts and obtained from Chicago's ARTFL project a copy of the Heptameron. We provided password access (for copyright reasons) and encoded it for student analysis.
  
  
• French 3513
  "French Civilization & Culture: Modern Period"
  Professor Judith Preckshot, French & Italian
  Students in this course were invited to work with a text from our related project, WTW (Women's Travel Writing), as an optional research project. The text in question was Flora Tristan's Pérégrinations d'une paria (1838).
