Agrippa D'Aubigné's remarkable epic poem, Les Tragiques, was composed in France in the 1570s, and first published in 1616 in Geneva. It sets the recent sufferings of the Protestants in the French Wars of Religion within the overarching context of God's eternal plan for his chosen faithful. Recording the bitter story of the defeated party, the poet movingly combines depictions of a devastated country, vivid tableaux of the worst atrocities of the Wars, and satirical attacks on leading political and religious figures. As he narrates a story which he believes must not be forgotten, d`Aubigné develops an innovative style that deliberately challenges conventions. This is a work of pure baroque, a pearl of irregular shape, making a unique appeal to both the senses and the intellect. The complete work has never previously been translated into English. Valerie Worth-Stylianou's translation of the entire text is accompanied by her illuminating introduction and detailed critical notes. This English version will interest scholars and students of early modern political, social and religious history and of comparative literatures, as well as all readers looking to understand how literature seeks to mediate the pain of partisan struggles. Translated, annotated, and with an introduction by Valerie Worth-Stylianou French Renaissance Texts in Translation volume 2

The aim of this book is to bring the author to the attention of a greater number of general readers and to provide an introduction for the professional student of sixteenth-century literature. Little time is needed when undertaking an examination of the works of Agrippa d'Aubigné to realize the magnitude of the task, for the variety of his output bears witness to the manifold interests of this polymath, fearless Huguenot, and distinguished soldier. This study restricts itself to the works in French which can be described as "general literature." Although translations have been provided, the quotations are given generally in the original French, as so much of the poetry is lost in the transposition.

Excerpt from The Life of Theodore Agrippa D'aubigne: Containing a Succinct Account of the Most Remarkable Occurrences During the Civil Wars of France, in the Reigns of Charles IX., Henry III., Henry IV., And the Minority of Lewis XIII Some may think the conduct of a man, who was not greatly exalted by birth, nor dignified by titles, nor rendered conspicuous by the splendor of r'iches, below their notice; but in his own words I will endeavour to obviate the objection. In the beginning of his private memoirs, he addresses his children, for whose use he wrote them, nearly to this effect.
