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. 606 $aDialogue 606 $aDialogue in literature 606 $aEuropean literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aDialogue. 615 0$aDialogue in literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a842/.2099287 700 $aSmarr$b Janet Levarie$f1949-$01870228 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975031003321 996 $aJoining the conversation$94478612 997 $aUNINA
