Excerpt from The Duchess Renée and Her Court
IT was a suggestion of one keenly alive to the interests of the youth of our'land that historical sketdhesof those who had occupied high places in church and in state, would be a desirable ad dition to the rapidly growing libraries for the young. Acting upon this suggestion the writer has gathered from various sources allthat'she could find touching the life and personal experi ences of Renée of France. While'she gives no references to the authorities consulted, she would have it clearly understood that this work is but a compilation, made in the hope that it may profit the youth of our country to study the character and example of one of whom they could obtain no knowledge, without consulting larger and more expensive works a course requiring time and research in public and private libraries.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, set at the heart of the Italian Renaissance, chronicles the life of Renà e of France, Duchess of Ferrara. A woman driven by intellectual curiosity and deep faith, her patronage turned Ferrara into a cultural and religious hub of the time. Compelled to conform to the external mandates of the church for her position within the court, she nonetheless faced strong opposition from her husband and the pope due to her secret Protestant leanings.
