Beschreibung:
A common thread running through much of Christine de Pizan's work, both poetry and prose, is the theme of concealment: the disguise of true emotion and the appearance or projection of a slightly different or even opposite sentiment. Given Christine's relationship with the Roman de la rose, these calls to pretend, dissemble and perform are reminiscent of Jean de Meun's allegorised character, Faux Semblant. The purpose of this article is to consider more specifically the artifice admired in the Cité and the artifice counselled in the Vertus, as Christine rehabilitates Faux Semblant into Faire Semblant.
