Heptaméron

Hinchliff's engraving of Marguerite, Queen of Navarre, from an 1864 edition of The Heptaméron
The Gentleman's Spur catching in the Sheet. Illustration from an 1894 edition of The Tales of the Heptameron.

The Heptameron is a collection of 72 short stories written in French by Marguerite of Navarre (1492–1549), published posthumously in 1558. It has the form of a frame narrative and was inspired by The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio. It was originally intended to contain one hundred stories covering ten days just as The Decameron does, but at Marguerite’s death it was only completed as far as the second story of the eighth day. Many of the stories deal with love, lust, infidelity, and other romantic and sexual matters. One was based on the life of Marguerite de La Rocque, a French noblewoman who was punished by being abandoned with her lover on an island off Quebec.
