Bibliography

Eight years after her death (1594), her daughters decided to publish her poems under the title Œuvres chrestiennes.[4] The poems in this volume include 129 "spiritual sonnets," as well as other poems of varying length, including a long poem on the triumph of the deuterocanonical heroine Judith. Catholic spirituality is the focus of Coignard's work,[5] as it is in the work of her contemporary, Anne de Marquets, who wrote on many of the same subjects.
