Professor Leushuis is the author of a book entitled Le Mariage et l'«amitié courtoise» dans le dialogue et le récit bref de la Renaissance (Florence: Olschki, 2003) in which he focuses on the humanist ideals of marriage and courtly friendship as they emerge in the dialogues and short narrative texts of 16th-century writers such as Erasmus, Castiglione, Rabelais and Marguerite de Navarre.
