Marie le Jars de Gournay, Les Advis, ou, les Presens de la Demoiselle de Gournay 1641, Volume II
Ce deuxième volume de la première édition moderne des oeuvres en recueil de Marie de Gournay rend disponibles les quelque dix-sept textes qui ferment le premier livre des Advis de 1641. Il s’agit principalement de traités relatifs à des questions morales (Des Vertus vicieuses) ou poétiques (Deffence de la Poesie), mais on y trouve aussi des textes de circonstance (Paroles d’un Mareschal de France), des écrits à caractère autobiographique (Apologie pour celle qui escrit) ou polémique (Egalité des hommes et des femmes), sans oublier le Proumenoir de M. Montaigne, récit dédié à son célèbre « père d’alliance ». Présentés et commentés dans leur version intégrale, ces textes permettent de saisir avec une plus grande netteté les contours de l’ensemble auquel Gournay a donné sa forme définitive en 1641 et qui, tant par son ampleur que par sa diversité, assure à son auteur une place de premier plan parmi les gens de lettres de son époque.

Life of Marie de Medicis, Queen of France
This three-volume work by Julia Pardoe, the author of other books on French royalty, was originally published in 1852. In astonishing detail the books describe the colourful and controversial life of Marie de Medicis, who in 1600 married Henry IV of France after his marriage to Marguerite de Valois had been annulled to make way for this dynastic alliance. The consort's life both before and after her marriage was one of flamboyant living, political intrigue and gossip. The work is a complex biography, full of information on every detail of a remarkable life at the centre of European politics. Each volume is illustrated and annotated with references to original documents. Volume 2 covers the period in which the assassination of the king in 1610 led to Marie's regency on behalf of her son, Louis XIII.
