The history of Renaissance France is rich and varied. The
Renaissance in France, as elsewhere in Europe, saw glory crowned
amidst conflict and squalor. At the beginning of the sixteenth
century, France seemed set to become the most powerful nation of
Europe, but as the century ebbed so did her fortunes. In between,
during a century of more or less permanent combat which murdered
the dreams, comforts and relatives of many Frenchmen and saw a
soaring economy shot down, some of the greatest building, painting
and thinking to come out of the whole European Renaissance was
being done. Sixteenth-century France was a colourful, confusing and
often downright fatal habitat, and we moderns might profitably look
on the complexity of its successes and failures, to which Prefessor
Knect is a matchlessly illuminating and genial guide.
