School of Montaigne in Early Modern Europe - Volume One: The Patron Author

Zusatztext Boutcher follows Montaigne and his Essais around Europe, and constructs as he goes an intricate, learned, and very readable reassessment of early modern authorship which scrupulously locates Montaigne's practice within a mobile portrait of contemporary norms...the work offers much of interest to scholars of Elizabethan literature and culture, not least as a case study in itself of an alternative mode of literary history.
