Une Vie a la Trace : Amable Bourzeis, Ecrivain (1606-1672) (Paperback)

An academician and polemicist who used his pen in the service of Mazarin and Colbert, Amable Bourzeis, the "patriarch of the Jansenists" as far as his adversaries were concerned, did not leave much of a mark on literary history. This work traces his career to see what a biography would be like that does not succumb to the biographical illusion.
