Abstract:
The world of the court, with its values and practices, underpins the world Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron, without being the main subject of the short stories. The objective of this article is to analyze how the court and its courtiers were described by one of its founders. It is indeed possible to see not only that Marguerite does not share the vision of the court transmitted in anti-aulic writings, which were very popular in the sixteenth century, but that, in fact, she proposes an idealized vision of the court. It is even possible to observe a certain promotion of courtly culture and its values without the collection of nouvelles becoming an apology of the court. Observations concerning the inscription of La Coche in courtly practices precede the thematic analysis of the frame narrative and of some of the short stories.
