Homer and the Politics of Authority in Renaissance France

About Homer and the Politics of Authority in Renaissance France

This book disputes the notion that humanists in sixteenth-century France were ivory-tower academics detached from the world. Through their interpretations of Homer, they not only played the role of counselor to the king, but participated in national debates about sovereignty and contributed to the development of a French national consciousness.
