Montaigne's English Journey

Hamlin's carefully researched book is impressively alive to subtle shifts of register across languages, genres and bibliographical formats. He has uncovered significant amounts of new material, and the thought-provoking insights he makes on almost every page are sure to intertraffique with many early modern disciplines.
