As we read the works attributed to Marie?her lays, beast fables and legend of Saint Patrick?we will consider a woman?s self-definition in a culture whose understanding of creativity and authority commonly excluded women. We will also sample works that form the cultural context of her times?courtly lovesong, romance, didactic literature, medical and theological discourse. We will approach our subject from three angles, the representation of women in texts, women as audience, and women as poets.
