Bringing together works by writers such as Christine de Pizan, Giovanni Boccaccio, and in particular Juan Luis Vives, as well as their translators, this study also traces how literature about women's learning, power, and governance circulated between Western European kingdoms. At the center of these exchanges is Vives's \u003cem\u003eDe institutione foeminae Christianae\u003c\/em\u003e (1524), one of the most influential books written for women in the sixteenth century; this seminal text’s translation into French helped extend conversations about women’s education across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on manuscripts, printed books, diplomatic correspondence, and visual culture, this volume demonstrates how queens were not merely recipients of advice literature but active participants in the production, adaptation, and dissemination of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarcy Kern is a historian of Western European intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032407580\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53983044010124,"sku":"9783032407580","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032407580","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
