Debate of Folly and Love : A New English Translation with the Original French Text

This translation of Renaissance French writer Louise Labe's (1526?- 1566) volume, preceded by her dedicatory epistle, retains the author's vocabulary and imagery as much as possible, while modifying her sentence structure and punctuation to make the ideas contained in the text more accessible. Includes a glossary of 16th-century French terms in the Debate, with definitions in modern French and in English.
