- Title
Marie of Saint-Pol and her Books*.
- Authors
Field, Sean L.
- Abstract
This article analyses all the available evidence for Marie of Saint-Pol's association with books. It attempts to shed new light on this fourteenth-century countess of Pembroke's networks of literary patronage, which included identifiable figures including three queens, an abbess, and a Franciscan confessor. The larger goal is to illuminate how a French-born widow such as Marie could act as the nexus for networks that moved books across lines of region, sex, and ecclesiastical status.
