Speaker: Emma Herdman, University of St Andrews

A celebration of Marguerite de Navarre and the publication of Emily Butterworth’s new critical introduction to her work. Marguerite de Navarre is best known today for The Heptameron, a brilliant and open-ended collection of short stories in which a group of men and women explore love, desire, honour, and religious faith. This new book examines the debates and questions raised by The Heptameron in the light of Marguerite’s broader work as a Renaissance princess, patron, diplomat, and mystical poet.
