Two contributors describe the remarkable mathematical and\/or mythological patterns found in both the \u003ci\u003eEssays\u003c\/i\u003e and the works ascribed to La Boétie's. Several essays articulate the revolutionary political teaching found in the \u003ci\u003eEssays\u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eOn Voluntary Servitude\u003c\/i\u003e, challenging the conventional view of Montaigne as a political conservative. And all the contributors challenge the received view that he was an artless or nonchalant writer. The volume also includes new translations of both \u003ci\u003eOn Voluntary Servitude\u003c\/i\u003e and the 29 Sonnets of Etienne de La Boetie that Montaigne included in all editions of the \u003ci\u003eEssays\u003c\/i\u003e except the final one. An important work for students and scholars of political philosophy, Renaissance history, and French and comparative literature.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDAVID LEWIS SCHAEFER is Professor of Political Science at Holy Cross College.
