The date, 1580 - 1588 - 1595, refers to three successive edi tions of the Essays. The titles of books and other writings have been translated into English, ex cept in cases where translation would be mislead ing; but the original French titles follow the translated titles in parentheses, the first time each occurs. I have endeavoured as far as possible to go to the sources, but my chief source has been the Essays themselves. I have interwoven them with my narrative in many places. The Bibliography, derived. Almost exclusively from books on my own shelves, may assure the reader that I have not written without much preparatory study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne's Essays in Three Books, Vol. 1: With Notes and Quotations Having thus impartially related what is urg'd againll: Montaigne, we proceed now to mention what is faid in his Vindication. And we might here, in the firll Place, make ufe of the long Preface Madamoifelle de Goumay has prefix'd to the French Folio Edition of his Bilayo, 165 2, wherein {he does not only give a full Anfwer to all the Objeé'tinos made, or that can bemade againll Montaigne, but alfo talks of him as of a Man whole Works have te viv'd Truth in his Age, and which therefore the calls the quinn/etta of Philofiphy, the Hellehore qf Man's Falb, the Setter at Liberty if the Under/landing, and the judicial tone of Rea/bn.

Thefe will tell you, that if he has handled any Matters with an uncommon Freedom, this is an Effeét of his generous Temper, which was free from any bafe Compliance and as to his Love for Virtue, and his Reli ion, they appeal to his very Book itfelf, where. By that ruth will appear, if the Pallages alledg'd to prove the contrary are examin'd without Partiality, and not by themfelves, but according to the Connexion they have with what precedes or follows.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Montaigne written by Michel de Montaigne and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Shakespeare, Nietzsche wrote, was Montaigne’s best reader—a typically brilliant Nietzschean insight, capturing the intimate relationship between Montaigne’s ever-changing record of the self and Shakespeare’s kaleidoscopic register of human character. And there is no doubt that Shakespeare read Montaigne—though how extensively remains a matter of debate—and that the translation he read him in was that of John Florio, a fascinating polymath, man-about-town, and dazzlingly inventive writer himself. Florio’s Montaigne is in fact one of the masterpieces of English prose, with a stylistic range and felicity and passages of deep lingering music that make it comparable to Sir Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy and the works of Sir Thomas Browne. This new edition of this seminal work, edited by Stephen Greenblatt and Peter G. Platt, features an adroitly modernized text, an essay in which Greenblatt discusses both the resemblances and real tensions between Montaigne’s and Shakespeare’s visions of the world, and Platt’s introduction to the life and times of the extraordinary Florio. Altogether, this book provides a remarkable new experience of not just two but three great writers who ushered in the modern world.

Download or read book The Complete Essays written by Michel Montaigne and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 1360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel de Montaigne was one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance, singlehandedly responsible for popularising the essay as a literary form. This Penguin Classics edition of The Complete Essays is translated from the French and edited with an introduction and notes by M.A. Screech. In 1572 Montaigne retired to his estates in order to devote himself to leisure, reading and reflection. There he wrote his constantly expanding 'assays', inspired by the ideas he found in books contained in his library and from his own experience. He discusses subjects as diverse as war-horses and cannibals, poetry and politics, sex and religion, love and friendship, ecstasy and experience. But, above all, Montaigne studied himself as a way of drawing out his own inner nature and that of men and women in general. The Essays are among the most idiosyncratic and personal works in all literature and provide an engaging insight into a wise Renaissance mind, continuing to give pleasure and enlightenment to modern readers. With its extensive introduction and notes, M.A. Screech's edition of Montaigne is widely regarded as the most distinguished of recent times. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1586) studied law and spent a number of years working as a counsellor before devoting his life to reading, writing and reflection. If you enjoyed The Complete Essays, you might like Francois Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, also available in Penguin Classics.
