The dialogue was a popular genre in Renaissance times and,
occurring in both Latin and vernacular language, it enjoyed a wide
appeal. Smarr's study examines dialogues written by Italian and
French Renaissance women, such as Catherine D'Amboise, Marguerite
de Navarre, Catherine des Roches and Luisa Sigea. She explores what
prompted women to write these conversations and what they wanted to
say through them. In particular, she discusses the different themes
and types of dialogues, from social and perhaps playful
conversations, to religious or secular didactic works, placed
within the context of classical models of dialogues and the
prevalence of male writings during this period.
