| Summary |
Annotation Essayist Michel de Montaigne is one of the most accessible and widely read authors from the sixteenth century. His skepticism and relativism, and the personal quality of his writing, make him a perennial favorite among many readers today. Montaigne After Theory/ Theory After Montaigne pursues the idea that theory has altered the scholarly understanding of Montaigne, while Montaigne's ideas have simultaneously challenged the authority of the various interpretive doxa collectively known as theory. |
