Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron, a collection of novellas, reflects her privilege as royalty, her education, and her innate abilities as an able commentator, but new instructors often find
the Middle French, complexity, and underlying contexts difficult for both the undergraduate and graduate level. This collection of pedagogical and critical articles will probably even help
veterans in finding English editions, required and recommended student readings, primary and background sources, biographical studies, critical studies, audiovisual materials, online sources
and new technologies, and classroom tools. This includes sets of articles on the backgrounds and contexts, critical tools and commentary, methods of teaching the Heptameron with others by
Marguerite de Navarre, and selected courses and pedagogical strategies. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
