Hagiography in Marguerite de Navarre's Heptaméron

Saints and Debates in Renaissance France

Beschreibung

Hagiography in Marguerite de Navarre's Heptaméron explores the influence of saints' lives on Marguerite's tales by analyzing the Heptaméron alongside literary works, theological texts, and visual images to demonstrate how Marguerite drew on and revised hagiography to increase her authority and advocate for women through innovative responses to debates about women, religion, and the cult of saints.
