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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSelected Writings\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eHeptameron\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRouben Cholakian \u003c\/b\u003eis Burgess Professor of Romance Languages Emeritus at Hamilton College.
