Synopsis

Michel de Montaigne: A Biographical Study by M. E. Lowndes offers a careful, illustrated portrait of the Essayist through his times. This scholarly edition examines how Montaigne’s life and his writings reflect the late Renaissance world that shaped them, using a wide range of early sources and critical perspectives.

This study emphasizes the link between external events and the Essays, while acknowledging the limits of our knowledge about his private life. It surveys the publication history of the Essays and the use of major editorial editions, helping readers understand how Montaigne’s thoughts evolved across different printings and interpretations.

• Contextual chapters that place Montaigne within his historical and cultural milieu.


• Discussion of the Essays’ development, authorship, and transmission through key editions.


• Analysis of how biographers and critics have interpreted Montaigne’s self-portrait in letters, essays, and life.


• Guidance on how to read the Essays in light of the biographical material and textual variants.

Ideal for readers interested in Montaigne, Renaissance thought, and literary biography who want a clear, well-sourced guide to his life and works.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
