Essays (Renaissance Library) - Hardcover
The 8 essays included in this selection have not been chosen in order to trace the evolution of Montaigne's thought since other anthologies following upon the invaluable wok of Pierre Villey, have made this their aim; the editors have preferred instead to present the reader with as complete a picture as possible the fruits of Montaigne's development, namely his 'sagesse'. A synthesis of 'sagesse' is given in the introduction to this edition and there are also a Chronology, which is closely linked to the essays selected, abudant notes on the text, an extensive glossary. The undergraduate will thus find within one volume all the material neccesary for a full undsersatnding of these essential essays.
