Polemic and Literature Surrounding French Wars of Religion

Engaging the continuous casting and
recasting of opposing worldviews, this
collection of essays examines literature's use
of polemic and polemic's use of literature as
seminal intellectual developments stemming
from the religious and social turmoil that
characterized sixteenth-century France.
Contributions explore both literary texts and more
intentionally polemical texts that fall outside
of the traditional literary genres.
