This careful and lucid book presents a fresh and significant interpretation of the Essais and shows how Montaigne's work might profitably and illuminatingly be read in a 'different' way.
Most modern critics have sought to explain away the contradictions and discontinuities in Montaigne's Essais. Steven Rendall maintains that such differences--in the opinions recorded, in voices and modes of discourse, in logical levels, in conceptions of writing and reading--are essential to Montaigne's practice of writing. In a series of lucid readings of selected passages from the Essais, Rendall tracks the operation of these differences, showing how Montaigne's writing constantly recontextualizes his own discourse as well as that of other authors. But Montaigne also recognizes that the procedures of recontextualization on which he relies pose a threat to his control over his own text. The author argues that Montaigne's description of the Essais as a 'self-portrait' is an attempt to ward off this threat, and situates it in relation to a historical shift from earlier ways of controlling meaning to one based on 'the author function'.
