SIGNED: Wendy Lynn Ring Freeman 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The majority of this dissertation was accomplished in Fairbanks, Alaska in conjunction with trips to Tucson, Arizona and to Paris, France. As such, throughout its different stages I depended on the input and support of many people. Above all I want to thank my parents, husband and children who all participated in this project. Their understanding and help cannot be overstated. I wish to express my profound gratitude to Professor Lise Leibacher for reintroducing me to Marie de Gournay. Professor Leibacher’s vast knowledge of this period, women’s writing and cultural studies, in general, is matched by her generosity and commitment to her students and their own successes. She has been the most inspirational mentor any student or friend could wish to have and I will be forever grateful for her work on my behalf. I want to acknowledge Professors Elizabeth Zegura and Reginald McGinnis who both served on my comprehensive exam and dissertation committees. Their positive attitudes and encouragements during coursework and evaluations, combined with concise, insightful critiques, instilled a greater sense of rigor in my approach to literary analysis. I am very fortunate to have had such a dedicated, collaborative committee. I would also like to recognize Linda Dols and Deborah Knutsen respectively from the interlibrary loan departments at the University of Arizona at the University of Alaska. Their interest and responsiveness in my requests for sometimes obscure texts played an essential part in the completeness of my references and in my meeting deadlines. 5 DEDICATION For my parents, Terry and Ellen, who put me on the right path and for Chloé, Tatyana, Jessie-Lee and Madeleine who have been lighting the way ever since. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT....................................................................................................................... 9 INTRODUCTION: “SES OUVRAGES NE SONT PLUS LUS DE PERSONNE”.. 11 CHAPTER 1 GOURNAY’S SELF-FASHIONING OR LES ENJEUX DU JE................................ 32 BIRTH OF LA FILLE D’ALLIANCE .............................................................................. 32 Essais, hysteria and the taking of “Gournay”............................................... 33 Parallel agendas in Bien-venue de Monseigneur le Duc d’Anjou.................. 34 Pretexts for texts in Le Promenoir de Monsieur de Montaigne..................... 36 TRANSGRESSING CIVILITY: “LES CERVEAUX IMBECILES” ......................................... 42 Defending the Ancients against toute la bande ............................................. 45 Transcending tradition: Egalité des hommes et des femmes and Grief des dames....................................................................................... 48 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL TEXTS..................................................................................... 51 The copy is the original: Copie de la vie de la Demoiselle de Gournay ....... 55 Virtue and vices: Pincture de moeurs............................................................ 68 Triple Bind: Apologie pour celle qui escrit .................................................. 78 Social intercourse and “pièces de circonstance” ........................................... 94 Outburst of temper: the 1595 preface to the Essais....................................... 98 CHAPTER 2 MYSTIFICATION AND THE MISE EN SCÈNE OF GOURNAY........................ 105 PUBLIC DISCIPLINING AND THE LA DEFENCE DES PERES JESUITES ........................ 106 Damoiselle Carabine.................................................................................... 119 L’Eminentissime Cardinal Du Perron and the “stroller”............................. 121 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS -

  • Marie Le Jars De Gournay, Eine Unabhängige Intellektuelle Des Frühen 17
    93 Ursula Beitz Marie le Jars de Gournay, eine unabhängige Intellektuelle des frühen 17. Jahrhunderts Glücklich bist du Leser, wenn du nicht zu dem Geschlecht gehörst, dem man alle Güter verwehrt, indem man ihm Freiheit versagt, indem man es zu keinen Pflich- ten, Ämtern und öffentlichen Funktionen zulässt: mit einem Wort, indem man es der Macht beschneidet, wo doch durch die Beschränkung dieser sich erst Tugenden formen können; so dass ihm schließlich als einziges Glück, als einzige Tugend die Unwissenheit bleibt, […]. Glücklich auch der, der ohne ein Verbrechen zu begehen weise sein kann; dein Mann-Sein gesteht dir bedeutsames Handeln, anspruchsvolles Urteilen und Spekulation zu, was man den Frauen allesamt verbietet. (Gournay 2002, 1074 f.)1 Ungestraft gelehrt und weise sein zu können, war schon früh der Wunschtraum von Marie de Gournay, die 1565 als älteste von sechs Geschwistern in Paris geboren wurde. Als sie 12 Jahre alt ist, stirbt ihr Vater, woraufhin ihre nun mit- tellose Mutter die Metropole verlassen muss und sich mit den Kindern auf dem Anwesen der Familie in Gournay sur Aronde niederlässt, einem Weiler in der picardischen Provinz. Auch heute noch hat er nicht mehr als 600 Einwohner. Die Möglichkeit, auf eigenen Besitzungen zu leben, rettete die Familie zwar vor größter Verarmung, aber für die wissbegierige Jugendliche bedeutete es gähnende Langeweile und den Verzicht auf formale Bildung. Einzige Zuflucht vor der mütterlichen Absicht, sie auf die traditionelle weibliche Bestimmung von Ehe und Spinnrocken vorzubereiten, stellt die väterliche Bibliothek dar, in der sich auch Schriften der römischen Antike befinden, wo sie sich »in heimlich abgezweigten Stunden die klassische Literatur und sogar Latein beibrachte, ohne Grammatik und Hilfe, nur indem sie die französischen Übersetzungen mit den Originalen verglich«, wie sie über sich selbst schreibt (Gournay 2002, 1862).

  • Tacitus' Germania and the Jesuit Relations: Intertextuality in the Transatlantic World of the Early Jesuits in New France
    Tacitus' Germania and the Jesuit Relations: Intertextuality in the Transatlantic World of the Early Jesuits in New France. by Renée Girard, BA MA Program in History Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Faculty of Humanities, Brock University St Catharines, Ontario 2015 Abstract The first Europeans who wrote about the Indigenous people of the newly discovered Americas, not only used medieval, but also classical literature as a tool of reference to describe 'otherness.' As true humanists, the French Jesuits who arrived in the New World were deeply influenced by their classical education and, as claimed by Grafton, reverted to ancient ethnographic texts, like Tacitus' Germania, to support their analyse of the Indigenous people they encountered. Books talk to books. Inspired by Germania, the early French Jesuits managed to convey to their readers a subtle critique of their own civilization, enhancing, like Tacitus, the virtuous aspect of the so-called barbarians they described while illustrating the corruption of their respective civilized worlds. This thesis suggests that the essence of Tacitus' work is definitively present in Pierre Biard's letters and his Relation. His testimonies illustrate the connection the early French Jesuits had with the humanist thought of their time. Keywords: Jesuits, Jesuit Relations, New France, Tacitus, Germania. Acknowledgements The idea of this research materialized after I heard the same comment in two different courses. Dr. Mike J. Carter in History of the Roman Empire, and Dr. Daniel J. Samson in Pre-Confederation Canada both discussed texts which, while describing 'the Other,' had served as a critique of their own societies.

I then introduce the authors on which my argument focuses, Madeleine (1520 – 1587) and Catherine des Roches (1542 – 1587) and Marie de Gournay (1565 – 1645). My overarching argument reveals how these three figures adapted aspects of the male-dominated friendship tradition in their writing in order to forge a place for themselves in learned culture and to form relationships with other writers and intellectuals.

  • Anna Maria Van Schurman, Marie De Gournay, and Female Self- Representation in Relation to the Public Sphere Anne R
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2008, vol. 3 A Women’s Republic of Letters: Anna Maria van Schurman, Marie de Gournay, and Female Self- Representation in Relation to the Public Sphere Anne R. Larsen n the study of early modern women writers’ participation in trans- Inational networks of epistolary exchange, a remarkable example is the one centered on the polyglot Anna Maria van Schurman (1607–1678). One of the most famous erudite women in Europe and the most celebrated in the Protestant world, Schurman corresponded with many women, with whom she established a commonality of purpose and a sense of community. She addressed letters both to the well-known—such as the Huguenot Princess Anne de Rohan (1584–1646), Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia (1618–1689), and the latter’s sister Sophie von der Pfalz (1630–1714), later Electress of Hanover—and to the relatively obscure— such as a Madame de Coutel, who shared her interest in portraiture, and Anne de Merveil, Dowager of Prosting.1 The concept of a respublica lit- teraria mulierum (a women’s Republic of Letters) emerges strongly from Schurman’s letters and poems addressed to her peers in other lands.2 In France, during the first part of the seventeenth century, three notable contemporaries of Schurman, Marie le Jars de Gournay (1565– 1645), Anne de Rohan, and Madeleine de Scudéry (1607–1701), either entertained an epistolary exchange with her or knew her work firsthand. In the second half of the century, Schurman continued to be admired for her erudition, knowledge of languages, defense of women’s higher educa- tion, and modesty: Madame de Motteville (1615–1689), in a letter writ- ten in 1660 to Anne-Marie-Louise d’Orléans (1627–1693), Duchesse 105 106 EMWJ 2008, vol.

  • I Am Myself the Matter of My Book: Gender, Friendship, and Writing in Helisenne De Crenne and Marie De Gournay
    I AM MYSELF THE MATTER OF MY BOOK: GENDER, FRIENDSHIP, AND WRITING IN HELISENNE DE CRENNE AND MARIE DE GOURNAY Emily Rose Cranford A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (French and Francophone Studies) Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Hassan Melehy Dominique Fisher Dorothea Heitsch Ellen R. Welch Jessica Wolfe © 2015 Emily Rose Cranford ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Emily Rose Cranford: I am myself the matter of my book: Gender, Friendship, and Writing in Hélisenne de Crenne and Marie de Gournay (Under the direction of Hassan Melehy) The framework of early modern gender wars situates androgyny, intersexuality, and transgender phenomena as powerful yet risky, eminent yet subversive, symbols in early modern discourse. Hélisenne de Crenne and Marie de Gournay manipulate and transform iconic genders in early modern French culture, rewriting masculinist friendship traditions and reproductive imperative. These authors evoke the intersexuality with which their culture is obsessed in order to present the reality of fluctuating notions of sexe and gender. In her Angoysses douloureuses qui procèdent d’amours (1538) and Epîtres familières et invectives (1539) Hélisenne de Crenne detaches gender from the sexed body and represents multiple masculinities, from effeminate men to hypervirile men to virile women. In her Proumenoir de M. de Montaigne qui traite de l’amour dans l’oeuvre de Plutarque (1594), Les Advis ou Les présens de la demoiselle de Gournay (1639), and her multiple prefaces to Montaigne’s Essais (1595-1641) Marie de Gournay argues the cause of women and challenges misogynistic conceptions of female intellectual incapacity by forming notions of family that, like Michel de Montaigne’s literary progeny, work outside the bounds of sexed bodies and the institution of marriage.
