Description

This new edition brings together two major writers of Renaissance France in accessible form. Montaigne's most important essays are translated with accuracy and clarity by James B. Atkinson and David Sices, conveying his personable style elegantly to modern readers.

The notes provided are authoritative and learned, yet unobtrusive, while the Introduction beautifully situates Montaigne's work within its historical context. The inclusion of an elegant English version of La Boétie's Discourse on Voluntary Servitude is particularly noteworthy, offering a key to understanding much of Montaigne's thought and a major contribution to early modern political theory.

This edition now serves as the default translation of Montaigne in English, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking to engage with his work. With 350 pages in paperback, this collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Renaissance philosophy and history.
