Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549) was the sister and wife to kings
and a pivotal influence in sixteenth-century France. An astute
politician and diligent humanist, she was a champion of gender
equality and the evangelical reform movement, which recognized that
the clergy was more concerned with maintaining the church's power
than ministering to the faithful. As the years passed and the
glitter of life at court waned, however, Marguerite came to realize
her true vocation: writing.
"Selected Writings" brings together a representative sampling of
Marguerite's varied writings, most of it never before translated
into English, enabling Anglophone readers to enjoy the full breadth
of her work for the first time. From verse letters and fables to
mythological-pastoral tales, from spiritual songs to a selection of
novellas from the "Heptameron," the wide range of works included
here will reveal Marguerite de Navarre to be one of the most
important writers--male or female--of sixteenth-century France.
