Marguerite De Le Marguerit De Princesse

Marguerite is recognizably the same author who produced a vastly longer, and, at first glance, very different book, the heptameron. The title refers to the said en days over which the action of the work unfolds. A group of aristocrats, evenly divided between men and women, are staying at an abbey and agree to pass the time by telling a series of stories for mutual edification and enjoyment. In love, she writes, i can boldly call you son, father, spouse and brother,. She experienced miscarriages and false pregnancies before finally having children.
