This scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Kessinger
Publishing's Legacy Reprint Series. Due to its age, it may contain
imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed
pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we
have made it available as part of our commitment to protecting,
preserving, and promoting the world's literature. Kessinger
Publishing is the place to find hundreds of thousands of rare and
hard-to-find books with something of interest for everyone!
Available for the first time in English, these thirteen selections
from Andre Thevet's "Les vrais pourtraits et vies des hommes
illustres" offer a glimpse of France during a time of great
upheaval. Originally published in 1584, Thevet's collection
contains over two hundred biographical sketches, detailing the
lives of important persons from antiquity to the sixteenth century.
Edward Benson and Roger Schlesinger have translated and annotated
Thevet's portraits of his contemporaries, and divided them into
three categories: monarchs, aristocrats, and scholars.
Additionally, an extensive introduction places the work in context
and describes the critical attention that Thevet and his writings
have received. Together these portraits provide a history of
sixteenth-century France as the country underwent tremendous
change: from an intellectual renaissance and its first encounter
with the New World to the Protestant Reformation and the Wars of
Religion that followed. France was irrevocably altered by these
events and Thevet's account of the lives of individuals who
struggled with them is indispensable.
