Christine de Pizan and the Five Senses (Listed under “Sessions of Papers”)

Throughout Christine’s corpus, all five senses play strategically into the expression of her message. From the scent of spring flowers in lyric poetry, to the sounds of battle in her works on war, to detailed and even striking visual imagery, the experiences she depicts are often powerfully enhanced by sensorial elements. This topic builds upon current interest in the material culture surrounding Christine’s oeuvre and lends itself to interdisciplinary approaches.
