About This Book
"Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549), the sister of King Francois I of France, was an internationally respected figure in her own right. Recognized both for her political influence and for her theological erudition, she wrote numerous religious poems and theater pieces as well as the Heptameron, a collection of secular tales framed by discussions among a community of lay men and women.".
"In The Pleasure of Discernment, Carol Thysell argues that Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron should be understood as a profoundly theological work, dedicated to reformist ideas coming both from within and from outside France yet providing its own constructive theological vision."--BOOK JACKET.
