When the famous Royal Professor of Philosophy and Eloquence Petrus
Ramus (1515-1572) gave a lecture, one of his most promising pupils
stood by, ready to tug on his coat if he made a mistake. That pupil
was Ramus's future biographer, the much less famous Nicolas de
Nancel (1539-1610), who recounted this anecdote in his Vita Rami
(1599). Nancel's insertion of himself into his life of Ramus is
typical of early modern biographies of men of letters. As
biographer, the humanist man of letters situated himself within the
same cultural field as his subject, thereby accrediting himself as
a fellow man of letters by his display of humanistic competence.
The first monograph study of the lives of men of letters in
sixteenth-century France, this ground-breaking book offers valuable
insights into biography's role as a form of social and cultural
negotiation geared to advance the biographer's career.
