« Pour estre de diverses oppinions, se separerent »
Dans cette intervention, je me pencherai sur la représentation et l’imaginaire de la dissidence chez Marguerite de Navarre, dans sa poésie et son théâtre autant que dans l’Heptaméron. Sans un vocabulaire explicite de la dissidence, j’emploierai l’étymologie de la dissidence dans un travail sur les figures de la séparation. Je m’intéresserai aux façons dont la dissidence, dans les genres différents, peut mener à l’échec de la communication, mais a…
‘Motz […] en main’ or words you can hold in your hand
In chapters 55-56 of Rabelais’s Quart Livre, Pantagruel and his companions encounter a soundscape of inexplicable, disembodied voices and noises, which turn out to be sounds that have frozen into visible, tangible, sensory objects. This article uses the episode to think about words as objects in the world, with a physical presence and sensible properties. Considering first the widespread critical suspicion of the frozen words’ materiality through…
Novelty, Disinformation and Discrimination in Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron (1559) and Sixteenth-Century French News Culture
This chapter explores the intersection between two different kinds of nouvelle: on the one hand, a piece of news; and on the other, a literary genre, the novella. Both senses were current in the early sixteenth century when Marguerite de Navarre, the sister of the French king François I, wrote the collection of novellas now known as the Heptameron. Developing its model, Boccaccio's Decameron, the Heptameron includes an elaborate frame narrative i…
Necessary Leaven
Hypocrisy is a recurring concern in Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron, part of the wider dynamic of dissimulation, pretence, and exposure explored in the storytelling project. This article discusses the contexts in which hypocrisy is revealed and debated in the Heptaméron. While clerical and feminine hypocrisies are familiar from medieval discussions of lecherous friars and unchaste women, Marguerite de Navarre’s evangelical emphasis presents hy…
Reforming French Culture
This thought-provoking and extensively researched book opens a new and exciting enquiry in French Wars of Religion historiography. Taking the vast corpus of satires written by French reformers, George Hoffmann asks why this unprecedented print production proved less than successful in turning the French to Protestantism, and, in the absence of converts, what influence these satires did, in fact, have on French culture. The answers are far reachin…
Apothecaries' Cornets
Recycling a book's pages as waste paper was a literary commonplace in Antiquity and the early modern period, a way of imagining literary and physical mortality, but it was also a material practice. This article explores the material and the textual culture of the motif in sixteenth-century France, focusing on the printed page as material object. The underlying preoccupations of the motif – waste, copiousness, and materiality – offer ways of analy…
Scandal and Narrative in the Heptaméron
This article explores the relationships between scandal and narrative in Marguerite de Navarre's Heptaméron . Scandal was a controversial and shifting keyword in the sixteenth century: the medieval secular connotations of socially reprehensible behaviour and outrage were still current, while Protestant discussions revived its biblical sense of the stumbling block in an individual's path to salvation. The Heptaméron contains both kinds of scandal.…

Scandal in Rabelais’s Tiers Livre
Cet article explore les liens entre la divination, l’interprétation et le scandale, en se penchant sur le Tiers Livre de Rabelais, et en empruntant à la théologie du scandale d’après les épîtres de Paul. L’auteur développe d’abord les raisons pour lesquelles la divination a pu apparaître comme scandaleuse au XVIe siècle. L’auteur retrace ensuite la notion de scandale de Rabelais dans son Tiers Livre, en examinant en détail le personnage ambigu de…
Poisoned Words
The work of the devil? Theatre, the supernatural, and Montaigne's public stage
This article takes as its starting point the story of the hoax ghost that Montaigne tells in Chapter 11 of Book 3 of the Essais , ‘Des boyteux’. Montaigne employs a consistent vocabulary of the theatre in describing this hoax as a ‘farce’ and a ‘battelage’. The article explores the sixteenth‐century contexts this intersection between demonology and theatricality throws into relief: the traditional suspicion of the theatre as diabolical, the effor…

The performance of habit in Montaigne's ‘De mesnager sa volonté’
This article focuses on the concepts of habit and performance and how they relate to concepts of subjectivity in Montaigne's ‘De mesnager sa volonté’. Montaigne's chapter considers action on the political stage and contrasts two models for political action: impassioned activity and moderate engagement. I look at how Montaigne modulates his argument through Seneca and how metaphor is used to describe the ideal of interior integrity, a space for th…

The contributor list is impressive and if the range of subjects is large, clusters of themes emerge from the organization of the chapters by the editors. Both well-established and little-known texts and authors are covered in this collection, emphasi…
