Montaigne: Selected Essays by Michel De Montaigne
A superb achievement, one that successfully brings together in accessible form the work of two major writers of Renaissance France. This is now the default version of Montaigne in English. --Timothy Hampton, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of California, Berkeley"The inclusion of La Boétie's Discourse truly sets this new translation apartIf La Boétie's thesis does not resonate with today's undergraduates, then we should all truly begin to despair…. Highly recommended." --Michael Wolfe, St. John’s University (adapted from Sixteenth Century Journal)
"Inspired. In every page--beginning with Atkinson's brilliant Introduction--this magical Montaigne betrays a lifetime of meditation on its subject". --Stephen G. Nichols, James M. Beall Professor Emeritus of French and Humanities, Johns Hopkins University
"The translators pull off the difficult trick of capturing the whole spectrum of Montaigne's voices. . . . A thorough, engaging, and wholly readable translation, whose rich and informative guidance for the non-specialist will also be of use for academic readers and teachers of the period". --William McKenzie, St. Hilda’s College, Oxford (adapted from MLR)
James B. Atkinson is an independent scholar. David Sices is Professor Emeritus of French and Italian, Dartmouth College. Their free-standing translation of La Boétie's Discourse on Voluntary Servitude and their edited translation The Comedies of Machiavelli are also published by Hackett.
