ROMIEU, Marie de (1545 – 1590). Les premières œuvres poétiques. Paris : Lucas Breyer, 1581



Première et seule édition de ce recueil précurseur, contenant plusieurs textes aux accents féminisites.



Dans l’« Epistre à mon frère », elle condamne les propos misogynes de Jacques de Romieu, également poète, et souligne l’inégalité de la répartition des charges ménagères qui l’empêche de se consacrer à ses vers autant que son frère. Le « Brief discours que l’excellence de la femme surpasse celle de l’homme » qui suit repose sur des arguments religieux et mythologiques et des exemples de femmes illustres.

« Le petit volume de Marie de Romieu m’accompagne depuis des décennies, limpides, frais comme des roses. » (J.P. Barbier, p. 437)



J.-P. Barbier-Mueller, MBP, IV-5, 60 ; Diane Barbier-Mueller, Inventaire…, 668 ; FVB-46317 (6 exemplaires répertoriés).

Nièdrée de plein maroquin rouge, encadrement de triple filets dorés aux plats, dos orné, pièce de titre, tranches dorées (feuillet de titre rapporté, quelques salissures).
