About the author

René Rapin

1621–1687

A sharp-eyed Jesuit man of letters, he moved easily between poetry, criticism, and history, and became one of the most widely read French writers of his time. His work ranges from elegant Latin verse to influential reflections on literature and the religious disputes of seventeenth-century France.
