Review
"The inclusion of La Boétie's Discourse truly sets this new translation apart. If 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)
