From Wikipedia: "Michel Eyquem de Montaigne 28 February 1533 13 September 1592 was one of the most influential writers of the French Renaissance known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. He became famous for his effortless ability to merge serious intellectual exercises with casual anecdotes and autobiography and his massive volume Essais translated literally as "Attempts" or "Trials" contains to this day some of the most widely influential essays ever written. Montaigne had a direct influence on writers all over the world including Ren� Descartes Blaise Pascal Jean-Jacques Rousseau Albert Hirschman William Hazlitt Ralph Waldo Emerson Friedrich Nietzsche Stefan Zweig Eric Hoffer Isaac Asimov and possibly on the later works of William Shakespeare. In his own time Montaigne was admired more as a statesman than as an author. The tendency in his essays to digress into anecdotes and personal ruminations was seen as detrimental to proper style rather than as an innovation and his declaration that 'I am myself the matter of my book' was viewed by his contemporaries as self-indulgent. In time however Montaigne would be recognized as embodying perhaps better than any other author of his time the spirit of freely entertaining doubt which began to emerge at that time. He is most famously known for his remark 'Que s�ay-je ' 'What do I know ' in Middle French; modern French Que sais-je . Remarkably modern even to readers today Montaigne's attempt to examine the world through the lens of the only thing he can depend on implicitly his own judgment makes him more accessible to modern readers than any other author of the Renaissance. Much of modern literary non-fiction has found inspiration in Montaigne and writers of all kinds continue to read him for his masterful balance of intellectual knowledge and personal story-telling." From Wikipedia: "William Carew Hazlitt 22 August 1834 8 September 1913 was an English lawyer bibliographer editor and writer. The son of barrister and registrar William Hazlitt grandson of essayist and critic William Hazlitt and great-grandson of Unitarian minister and author William Hazlitt Hazlitt was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School and was called to the bar of the Inner Temple in 1861. Among his many publications were Handbook to the Popular Poetical and Dramatic Literature of Great Britain from the Invention of Printing to the Restoration 1867 supplemented in 1876 1882 1887 and 1889 a General Index by J. G. Gray appearing in 1893. He published further contributions to the subject in Bibliographical Collections and Notes on Early English Literature made during the years 1893-1903 1903 and a Manual for the Collector and Amateur of Old English Plays.1892. He was the chief editor of the 1871 edition of Warton's History of English Poetry and compiled the Catalogue of the Huth Library 1880. He also published Collections and Notes 1867-1876 London: Reeves and Turner 1876; detailed bibliographical entries on many early English printed books followed by Bibliographical Collections and Notes on Early English Literature 1474-1700 2nd series London: Quaritch 1882; 3rd series London: Quaritch 1892; 4th series London: Quaritch 1903." He revised the translation of Montaigne produced by Charles Cotton for his 19th century publication. Also from Wikipedia: "Charles Cotton 28 April 1630 16 February 1687 was an English poet and writer best known for translating the work of Michel de Montaigne from the French for his contributions to The Compleat Angler and for the influential The Compleat Gamester attributed to him. He was born in Alstonefield Staffordshire at Beresford Hall near the Derbyshire Peak District. His father Charles Cotton the Elder was a friend of Ben Jonson John Selden Sir Henry Wotton and Izaak Walton. The son was apparently not sent to university but was tutored by Ralph Rawson one of the fellows ejected. Reeves and Turner hardcover‎

Montaigne essentially invented the literary form of essay a short subjective treatment of a given topic of which the book contains a large number. Essai is French for 'trial' or 'attempt'. Montaigne wrote in a kind of crafted rhetoric designed to intrigue and involve the reader sometimes appearing to move in a stream-of-thought from topic to topic and at other times employing a structured style which gives more emphasis to the didactic nature of his work. His arguments are often supported with quotes from classical Greek and Roman texts. Montaigne's stated goal in his book is to describe man and especially himself with utter frankness. He finds the great variety and volatility of human nature to be its most basic features. A typical quote is 'I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself.' He describes his own poor memory his ability to solve problems and mediate conflicts without truly getting emotionally involved his disgust for man's pursuit of lasting fame and his attempts to detach himself from worldly things to prepare for death. Montaigne is disgusted with the violent and in his opinion barbaric conflicts between Catholics and Protestants of his time and his writings show a pessimism and skepticism quite uncharacteristic for the Renaissance. Overall Montaigne was a strong supporter of humanism. He believed in God but declined to speculate about His nature. He exhibited a quite modern cultural relativism recognizing that laws morals and religions of the various cultures while often quite different may all be equally valid. He opposed the conquest of the New World deploring the suffering it brought upon the natives. Citing the case of Martin Guerre as an example he believes that humans cannot attain certainty and he rejects general and absolute statements and all dogma. His skepticism is best expressed in the long essay 'An Apology for Raymond Sebond' Book 2 Chapter 12 which has frequently been published separately. We cannot trust our reasoning because thoughts just occur to us: we don't truly control them. We do not have good reasons to consider ourselves superior to the animals. He is highly skeptical of confessions obtained under torture pointing out that such confessions can be made up by the suspect just to escape the torture he is subjected to the first known use of this argument against torture. In the middle of the section normally entitled 'Man's Knowledge Cannot Make Him Good' he wrote that his motto was 'What do I know'. The essay on Sebond ostensibly defended Christianity. However Montaigne eloquently employed so many references and quotes from classical Greek and Roman i.e. non-Christian authors especially the atomist Lucretius. Montaigne considered marriage necessary for the raising of children but disliked the strong feelings of romantic love as being detrimental to freedom. One of his quotations is 'Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in and those inside desperate to get out.' In education he favored concrete examples and experience over the teaching of abstract knowledge that is expected to be accepted uncritically. The remarkable modernity of thought apparent in Montaigne's essays coupled with their sustained popularity made them arguably the most prominent work in French philosophy until the Enlightenment. Their influence over French education and culture is still strong. The official portrait of former French president Fran Edwin C. Hill hardcover‎
