Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of the French Renaissance, Vol. 1 N 1885 I published as a prologue to a larger work an Introductory Essay', which purported to give a brief summary of the condition of learning and literature in France at the close of the Middle Ages, and to trace the first workings of the Renaissance spirit down to the opening of the reign of Francis I. The First Part of the main history was nearly completed by the beginning of 1890, when ill health added to the claims of other work compelled me practically to lay it aside. It was not until five years ago that I was able to take it up again in more than a desultory fashion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
