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. Informationen zum Autor Warren Boutcher is Reader in Renaissance Studies in the School of English and Drama, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Queen Mary University of London. He has published extensively on Montaigne and on humanism, translation, and the history of the book and of libraries in early modern England, France, and Italy. Klappentext The first volume of a major two-volume study centres of the fortunes of Michel de Montaigne's Essays in both the early-modern (1580-1725) and the modern period (1900-2000). This volume examines how the Essays made Montaigne a patron-author or instant classic in the eyes of his peers.
