Title: "THE PAINS I TOOK TO SAVE MY/HIS FAMILY": ESCAPE ACCOUNTS BY A HUGUENOT MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AFTER THE REVOCATION OF THE EDICT OF NANTES. Citation: French Historical Studies 1999 22(1): 1-64. ISSN: 0016-1071 Fulltext: [ SwetsWise | Jstor ] Abstract: Two members of the Huguenot Robillard de Champagné family, mother and daughter, wrote memoirs of their escape from France after the 1685 revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Reading the two accounts comparatively, and in conjunction with documentary sources that tell the circumstances of the authors' lives independently of the memoirs, offers insights into what the emigration meant to families and, more particularly, how women experienced expatriation or exile. In addition, reading the memoirs from the perspective of how they tell their story, thereby adding to their explicitly articulated contents the meanings that their authors left latent within the texts - proceeding from rhetorical clues (language, structure, silences, genre) to experiential revelations - provides a new understanding of the process through which memoirs have been written and how historians can read them to best advantage.

ISSN: 0034-4338 Fulltext: [ Jstor ] Abstract: Georgette de Montenay, a Huguenot in service to the queen of Navarre, was the first woman author of an emblem book and the creator of a new literary and artistic genre: the religious emblem. Her Devises ou Emblèmes Chrestiennes, finally published in 1571, did not reproduce the mysogynist ethic of the humanist emblem tradition. Instead, she produced a model of educated and spiritually superior womankind and a more equitable vision of relations between the sexes. She rejected the conflict model of relations and proposed a cooperative model in which men and women help each other reach salvation. She was committed to the Calvinist understanding of Christianity, and that commitment may have shaped the first reason for creating her emblems. But she may also be considered a protofeminist because she proposed a new social and religious identity for women. Documentation: 47 fig., 62 notes, biblio. Jeanette.
