Epilogue: Future Directions for Studying the Life and Legacy of Renée de France.<p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>This book considers the life and legacy of Renée de France (1510-75), the youngest daughter of King Louis XII and Anne de Bretagne, exploring her cultural, spiritual, and political influence and her evolving roles and actions as <i>fille de France</i>, Duchess of Ferrara, and Dowager Duchess at Montargis. Drawing on a variety of often overlooked sources - poetry, theater, fine arts, landscape architecture, letters, and ambassadorial reports - contributions highlight Renée's wide-ranging influence in sixteenth-century Europe, from the Italian Wars to the French Wars of Religion. These essays consider her cultural patronage and politico-religious advocacy, demonstrating that she expanded upon intellectual and moral values shared with her sister, Claude de France; her cousins, Marguerite de Navarre and Jeanne d'Albret; and her godmother and mother, Anne de France and Anne de Bretagne, thereby solidifying her place in a long line of powerful French royal women.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kelly Digby Peebles is Associate Professor of French and Director of Language and International Health at Clemson University, USA.<br>Gabriella Scarlatta is Professor of French and Italian and Associate Dean in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters at The University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA.
