Le tableau des grandeurs et des folies, des exploits et des faiblesses humaines dans L’Heptaméron de Marguerite de Navarre ne saurait être complet sans l’évocation du mépris. Ce sentiment n’est jamais sujet principal des nouvelles, mais il se manifeste dans les actions et les jugements des personnages. Cette lecture du recueil met en relief avant tout le mépris comme une des marques de l’orgueil dans sa dimension nobiliaire, courtoise et évangélique.

This article examines how two texts by Marguerite de Navarre contest the tendency in courtly and ecclesiastical literature to reduce women to typologies based on sexuality, spirituality, and notions of virtue. In place of simplified typologies, Marguerite’s writings can be read as depicting women’s multidimensional personhood as they strive to live out a sincere Christian faith in a society that fixates on their sexuality. Ultimately, this study argues that when read together, La Comédie de Mont-de-Marsan and L’Heptaméron 10 and 42 suggest the need for women to develop a practical brand of Christian wisdom that will help them to reform both gender relations and patriarchal institutions, thereby replacing misogynistic discourses and behavioural patterns with respect for women’s humanity.
