Etienne Pasquier (1529-1615) was a renowned magistrate of the
Parliament of Paris, a poet, an advisor to the last Valois kings as
well as to Henri IV, and a founder of modern French historiography.
This book examines Pasquier's use of various genres: the dialogue,
the published correspondence, and ecclesiastic history as well as
his self-fashioning and his recognition by posterity for his
efforts to protect the French state against threats both real and
invented during the French Civil Wars of Religion. Pasquier
strategically casts the Jesuits as the enemy to aid his
self-construction as guardian of France and her political survival.
