Why it's in the Cabin

Yourcenar’s epic historical novel follows Zénon’s quest for knowledge in Renaissance Europe, where he navigates forbidden love and intellectual peril. Her exquisite prose and moral acuity render Zénon’s trials with vivid humanity. For collectors of women’s lit, this landmark work highlights Yourcenar’s pioneering voice in historical fiction.

Author

Marguerite Yourcenar

An absolute favourite of ours. Yourcenar's take on the historical novel was deeply original; less about the events and the accuracy, and more about delving into the spirit of a time, and the forces at play in times of change and upheaval.
