Appendix: Estienne Pasquier and His Social Network

Summary

Pasquier knows and interacts with the following names in bold. He is linked secondarily with those whom they know. For the secondary connections, I use “know/s” with indention under the entries in question. For Catherine de’Medici and Marguerite de Valois, I do not attempt to create their “know” lists, aside from the specific connection discussed with the D’Urfé brothers for Marguerite. Similarly, for the other key figures and their groups, I highlight a few specific connections but do not try to creative definitive lists. For example, for each member of the Pléiade, I do not recreate their same or very similar lists of connections, nor do I attempt to create “know/s or know/s of” lists for Marguerite de Navarre, even though figures connected to Pasquier had work in tombeaux dedicated to her. The network diagram performs some of this work, but it is important to emphasize that this is not meant to be a definitive list or diagram of all the connections between any of these figures. It is simply meant to illustrate in part Pasquier's voluminous network and the places of numerous women in it.

Regarding the professional women writers in question, with “professional” defined as receiving patronage, I have designated their links as follows: Marie de Romieu “knows of” the women she praises in her work, but it is not clear whether she had actually met or had only heard of them. Marie de Beaulieu “knows” the women she mentions in her work because she is an intimate of the circles of Catherine de’Medici and Marguerite de Valois and a friend of Isabella Andreini. Isabella Andreini “knows” Marie de Beaulieu, but it is not clear whether she had met or had only heard of Giulia Savelli, Catherine de Vivonne, and Louise Marguerite de Lorraine, so I use “knows of” for those women. I include these women in Pasquier's network to illustrate their degrees of proximity from him.
