She was referred to by her contemporaries as \u003ci\u003eMadame la Grande\u003c\/i\u003e, and remained an active and influential figure in France throughout her life. As the fifteenth century drew to a close, Anne composed a series of \u003ci\u003eenseignements\u003c\/i\u003e, \"lessons\", for her daughter Suzanne of Bourbon. These instructions represent a distillation of a lifetime's experience, and are presented through the portrait of an ideal princess, thus preparing her daughter to act both circumspectly and politically. Having steered her own course successfully, Anne offers her daughter advice intended to help her negotiate the difficult passage of a woman in the world of politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first translation into English of Anne of France's \u003ci\u003eLessons\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"D.S.Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177707847920,"sku":"9781782044376","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782044376_p0.jpg?v=1763719548","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782044376","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
