About this Item
Precedees d'une notice biographique et litteraire par M.Villemain. xvi, 495pp gilt all edges with eighteen engraved plates. First published in 1699, and although set in a far off place and ancient time, Telemaque was immediately recognised by contemporaries as a scathing rebuke to the autocratic reign of Louis XIV, whose wars and taxes on the peasantry had reduced the country to famine. The book so angered Louis that he banished Fenelon from Versailles, confining him to his diocese. Some light foxing, mainly to tissies. Publishers gilt and blind stamped cloth with sun fade to spine.
