Smarr's study examines dialogues written by Italian and French Renaissance women, such as Catherine D'Amboise, Marguerite de Navarre, Catherine des Roches and Luisa Sigea. She explores what prompted women to write these conversations and what they wanted to say through them. In particular, she discusses the different themes and types of dialogues, from social and perhaps playful conversations, to religious or secular didactic works, placed within the context of classical models of dialogues and the prevalence of male writings during this period.DialogueDialogue in literatureEuropean literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismEuropean literatureRenaissance, 1450-1600History and criticismDialogue.Dialogue in literature.European literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.European literatureHistory and criticism.842/.2099287Smarr Janet Levarie1949-1870228Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiUMiUBOOK9910975031003321Joining the conversation4478612UNINA
