Title : Reinventing the "Roman de la Rose" for a Woman Reader: The Case of Ms. Douce 195 [The author argues that the illuminator Robinet Testard changed the traditional "Roman de la Rose" illustrations for a noble woman, Louise of Savoie. Some of the images question the misogyny in the text with one cycle showing outright disapproval of the jealous husband who beats his wife. Other illustrations show women as the surveyors of events rather than objects of the male gaze. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
