- Title
THE SOURCE OF WALTER MONTAGUE'S THE ACCOMPLISH'D WOMAN.

- Abstract
The article suggests the source of Walter Montague's "The Accomplish'd Woman." At the time of the publication of the book, Montague was living in France. The translation may, however, belong to an earlier period. The Accomplish'd Woman carries a dedication to the Duchess of Buckingham, to whom Montague writes as though on intimate terms. Walter Montague was an important member of Queen Henrietta-Maria's circle, and his pastoral The Shepherd's Paradise played a major part in introducing her ideas to the Court. L'Honnestefemme itself was an influential work in France throughout the 1630s,8 and Montague's translation of it may have contributed towards forming an ideal of the accomplished woman at the English court.
