Abstract

The Comptes amoureux de Madame Jeanne Flore (1537), that seem to proclaim the liberty of women, revive instead some of the common topics related to the literary debate over women. From the four stories of the Pugnition de l'Amour contempné extraict de l'amour fatal de Jane Flore (printed in 1540, but written before 1537) to the seven Comptes amoureux (which repeat most of Pugnition), the characteristics of the deliberative discourse point to new rules for the conduct of love. But the two works published under the pseudonym "Jeanne Flore" do not make the same argument: while the Pugnition proclaims the injunction "let us love those who love us," in the Comptes, "Jeanne Flore" now forbids "impareil mariage"- marriage among those who are not equals- since such love is possible only in adultery.
