Preface to the Essays of Michel de Montaigne by his Adoptive Daughter, Marie le Jars de Gournay

"The Preface is a culturally significant document not only in terms of gender, but also in terms of 'the problematic of the speaking subject.' … The project of translating Gournay's Preface is highly commendable, the current volume's usefulness being heightened by its bilingual format."
