Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the life and works of Thà ophile de Viau, a pivotal figure in the world of French libertinism during the early 17th century. A scandalous contrarian, Thà ophile's writings and public conduct challenged the social and religious dogmas of his time. His boldness in criticizing the church and the monarchy earned him prison sentences and the wrath of influential figures like the Jesuit priest François Garassus. Drawing from previously unexplored documents and firsthand accounts, this book analyzes Thà ophile's life as a courtier, a soldier, and a poet. It explores the role he played as an agent of libertine ideology, examining the complex interplay between his personal beliefs and the evolving moral landscape of his era. His writings, seen as a lightning rod for societal tensions, are a lens into the broader currents of skepticism, freethought, and religious conflict shaping France at the dawn of the Enlightenment.
