Most widely read today as the author of the "Heptaméron," Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549) was known in her lifetime as a deeply religious, mystical poet. Sister of the King of France and wife of the King of Navarre, her deeds and writings expressed and sought to promote a living faith in Christ, based on the gospels, and a vision for the renewal and reform of the Church in line with the teachings of French Evangelicals such as Lefèvre d'Étaples, Guillaume Briçonnet, and Gérard Roussel. In this volume, eleven eminent scholars offer new appreciations of Marguerite's extraordinary life and rich and diverse literary oeuvre, including, in addition to her short-story collection, dialogues, mirror poems, plays, songs, and an allegorical prison narrative.

Contributors include, along with the editors, Philip Ford, Isabelle Garnier, Jean-Marie Le Gall, Reinier Leushuis, Jan Miernowski, Olivier Millet, Isabelle Pantin, Jonathan A. Reid, and Cynthia Skenazi.

Gary Ferguson is the Elias Ahuja Professor of French at the University of Delaware. He has published widely on 16th-century literature and culture, notably Marguerite de Navarre, devotional poetry, women's writing, and the history of religion and sexuality.

Mary McKinley is the Douglas Huntly Gordon Professor of French, University of Virginia. She writes on Montaigne and Marguerite de Navarre and has edited and translated Marie Dentière's Epistle to Marguerite de Navarre and Preface to a Sermon by John Calvin.
