Montaigne and the Low Countries (1580-1700)

Edited by Paul J. Smith and Karl A. E. Enenkel.

Papers given at the conference which took place in October 2005 at Leiden University. The volume studies the Netherlandish presence in Montaigne's Essays, represented by Erasmus and Lipsius and by contemporary history (the Dutch Revolt against Spain). It also deals with Montaigne's translations and editions in the Dutch Golden Age, as well as his readership, which included humanists such as Scaliger and Vulcanius, the poets Hooft and Cats, and a painter, Pieter van Veen, who illustrated the Essays.
