| Summary: | In the last fifteen years the voice of an early modern dissident French woman, Marie Dentière (1495–1561), has begun to be heard again in print, thanks to the curiosity of some Reformation theologians and the recent determination of feminist literary critics to revive female-authored works that serve to contextualize canonical ones. Mary B. McKinley's edition of Dentière's Epistle to Marguerite de Navarre (1539) and Preface to a Sermon by John Calvin (1561) represents an important contribution to scholarship in precisely this fashion. Dentière's two little texts speak volumes when set against the imposing oeuvres of Calvin and Marguerite de Navarre. |
