Marie de' Medici wasted the wealth amassed by Henri IV; she never purged herself of the charge of having known of the king's assassination; her /intimate/ was d'Épernon, who did not ward off Ravaillac's blow, and who was proved to have known the murderer personally for a long time.

"Wenn Sokrates eine Frau gewesen wäre...". Von Monika Kopyczinski. Was die Beziehung von Marie de Gournay zu Michel de Montaigne betrifft, zeigt Rauschenbach, dass sie nicht auf ein geistiges Vater-Tochter-Verhältnis beschränkt blieb, sondern dass es sich hierbei um eine Seelenverwandtschaft handelt, wie sie Montaigne in seiner Philosophie der Freundschaft entwickelt und die er zuvor dem intellektuellen Austausch von Männern vorbehalten sah. Ausgehend von ihrem ursprünglichen Interesse, "Licht in das Dunkel des Lebens" von Marie de Gournay zu bringen, gelangt sie dabei zu der allgemeinen Frage nach der Bedeutung der Geschlechterordnung in Epochen des Umbruchs. Marie de Gournay hat sich zeit ihres Lebens dafür rechtfertigen müssen, dass sie es als Frau wagte, als Intellektuelle in der Öffentlichkeit Stellung zu beziehen. www.querelles-net.de /2001-4/text13.htm   (2090 words)
