Inhaltsangabe
Life and Letters of Erasmus: Lectures Delivered at Oxford 1893-4 gathers James Anthony Froude’s clear, accessible portrait of Erasmus through his letters, travels, and the era he helped shape. The volume blends historical analysis with vivid, human scenes, inviting readers to see the Reformation era through Erasmus’s eyes.
In these lectures, the great scholar’s character and thoughts emerge from intimate scenes—journeys by boat and coach, meetings with merchants, clerics, and scholars, and the everyday trials of a life spent between learning and controversy. It offers a steady, readable path through a period where passion and prejudice colored much of the history that followed.
- Engaging, life‑like sketches drawn from Erasmus’s letters and experiences on the road and at major European centers.
- Balanced context on church reform, humanism, and the people who shaped the era.
- Readable synthesis of biography and historical analysis that illuminates Erasmus’s influence and his times.
- Accessible prose that makes Renaissance history inviting for general readers and students alike.
Ideal for readers of history, Renaissance studies, and religious reform who want a grounded, human portrait of a pivotal figure.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of Erasmus, one of the most brilliant and influential scholars of the Reformation era. Erasmus is best known for his work on the Greek New Testament, his satire In Praise of Folly, and his contributions to Renaissance humanism. However, behind this facade was a man who suffered great hardship and misfortune, especially in his early years. Born the illegitimate son of a priest, he was forced into a monastery against his will, where he endured years of physical and mental torment. Eventually, he escaped and went to Paris, where he enjoyed a period of great intellectual and social success. However, his outspoken nature and independent thinking often brought him into conflict with the authorities, both religious and secular. In this book, readers will find a vivid portrait of Erasmus, as well as a deeper understanding of the intellectual and religious ferment of the Renaissance period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
