He follows exchanges among Petrarch, Erasmus, Descartes, Montaigne, and others from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries, through revolutions in culture and society. Via revealing portraits and analysis, Fumaroli traces intellectual currents engaged with the core question of how to live a moral life--and argues that these men of letters provide an example of the exchange of knowledge and ideas that is worthy of emulation in our own time. Combining scholarship, wit, and reverence, this thought-provoking volume represents the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship"--Book jacket. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a European literature $y 16th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a European literature $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Europe $x Intellectual life $y 16th century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Intellectual life $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Politics and literature $z Europe $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Politics and literature $z Europe $x History $y 17th century. 700 1 $a Vergnaud, Lara, $e translator. 830 0 $a Margellos world republic of letters book. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBC6051EE19111E89124B82197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
