Book Synopsis
Etienne Pasquier (15291615) was a renowned magistrate of the Parliament of Paris, a poet, an advisor to the last Valois kings as well as to Henri IV, and a founder of modern French historiography. This book examines Pasquier's use of various genres: the dialogue, the published correspondence, and ecclesiastic history as well as his self-fashioning and his recognition by posterity for his efforts to protect the French state against threats both real and invented during the French Civil Wars of Religion. Pasquier strategically casts the Jesuits as the enemy to aid his self-construction as guardian of France and her political survival.

Table of Contents
Contents: Pasquier’s Self-Fashioning as the Ideal Public Servant – Law, Custom and the Individual, Revisited in the Pourparlers – Law and the Christian Tradition in France – Pasquier’s Reception in Posterity.
