A specialist in the Renaissance, she wrote extensively on major figures such as Montaigne, Marguerite de Navarre, and Agrippa d’Aubigné, combining rigorous scholarship with a clear and accessible style. Her research often explored the relationship between literature, politics, and personal experience during the tumultuous period of the French Wars of Religion. In addition to her biographical and critical works, she contributed to a deeper understanding of humanism, reform, and the role of women in early modern intellectual life. Her long academic career and influential publications made her a respected voice in French literary studies. ; Signed by Author. Very Good with no dust jacket .
