In her life and writings, the queen of Navarre dissected the injustices that her society and its institutions perpetuated against women. We also see evidence that she used her literary texts, especially the HeptameÌron, as an exploratory space in which to generate a creative vision for institutional reform. The HeptameÌron's approach to reform emerges from statistical analysis of the text's 72 tales, which reveals new insights into trends within the work, including the different categories of wrongdoing by male, institutional representatives from the Church and aristocracy, as well as the varying responses to injustice that characters in the tales employ as they pursue reform. Throughout its chapters, The Visionary Queen foregrounds the trope of the labyrinth, a potent symbol in early modern Europe that encapsulated the fallen world and redemption all at once, themes that Marguerite's project of reform consistently hearken back to"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-216) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : Marguerite de Navarre -- the visionary queen -- The labyrinth as structure and symbol : from experience to writing in the medieval and early modern contexts -- From the labyrinth, a vision : competing influences on Marguerite's religious, political, and creative endeavors -- "We walk by faith, not by sight" : exegesis, pilgrimage, and labyrinthine connections in the Reformation -- Into the labyrinth : mirroring sin, prompting reform -- Down tortuous paths : exploring approaches to justice and reform -- Above the labyrinth : a higher vision for reforming the self and society -- Conclusion : the empirical reader at labyrinth's end -- responding to Marguerite's vision. 600 00 $a Marguerite, $c Queen, consort of Henry II, King of Navarre, $d 1492-1549. $t HeptameÌron. 600 00 $a Marguerite, $c Queen, consort of Henry II, King of Navarre, $d 1492-1549 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 07 $a Marguerite, $c Queen, consort of Henry II, King of Navarre, $d 1492-1549 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00039724 630 07 $a HeptameÌron (Marguerite, Queen, consort of Henry II, King of Navarre) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356763 648 7 $a 1500-1599 $2 fast 650 0 $a Labyrinths in literature. 650 0 $a Justice in literature. 650 0 $a Reformation in literature. 650 0 $a Short stories, French $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French literature $y 16th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Reformation $z France. 650 7 $a French literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934688 650 7 $a Justice in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985152 650 7 $a Labyrinths in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990475 650 7 $a Reformation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092555 650 7 $a Reformation in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092579 650 7 $a Short stories, French $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117193 651 7 $a France $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Early modern feminisms 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011836.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219013136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A4B13169E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
