Trade Review
"The most important contribution to Montaigne studies since Friedrich's work.... It will be the critical framework in which scholars will discuss Montaigne in the years to come." - Choice "Starobinski brings Montaigne to life by treating him as our contemporary and asking him modern questions." - Hudson Review "Reading Jean Starobinski's book, one experiences some of the same excitement and delight as when one reads Montaigne." - Natalie Zemon Davis, New York Review of Books"
