The Praise of Folly and Other Writings Zusammenfassung

The Praise of Folly and Other Writings: A Norton Critical Edition Desiderius Erasmus

Besides the celebrated Praise of Folly, Robert M. Adams has included the political Complaint of Peace, the brutal antipapal satire Julius Excluded from Heaven, two versions of Erasmus's important preface to the Latin translation of the New Testament, and a selection both serious and comic of his Colloquies and his letters. Adams has made these selections to emphasize the humane, rather than the doctrinaire, side of the first and arguably greatest humanist.

Critical commentary is provided in essays by H. R. Trevor-Roper, R. S. Allen, J. Huizinga, Mikhail Bakhtin, Paul Oskar Kristeller, and Robert M. Adams.

Also included are a Chronology of Erasmus's life and a Selected Bibliography.

Über Desiderius Erasmus

Robert M. Adams was Professor of English (Emeritus) at the University of California at Los Angeles.

In addition to the Norton Critical Edition of Utopia (he was translator and editor of the First and Second Editions), Professor Adams was editor of five other Norton Critical Editions, including The Prince by Machiavelli, Candide by Voltaire, and The Praise of Folly and Other Writings by Erasmus, the texts of which he also translated. He was a founding editor of The Norton Anthology of English Literature.
