The aim of this book is to bring the author to the attention of a greater number of general readers and to provide an introduction for the professional student of sixteenth-century literature. Little time is needed when undertaking an examination of the works of Agrippa d'Aubigné to realize the magnitude of the task, for the variety of his output bears witness to the manifold interests of this polymath, fearless Huguenot, and distinguished soldier. This study restricts itself to the works in French which can be described as "general literature." Although translations have been provided, the quotations are given generally in the original French, as so much of the poetry is lost in the transposition.
