But save for the recent notable best seller How to Live: A Life of Montaigne by Sarah Bakewell, Montaigne is largely ignored. After Montaigne -a collection of twenty-four new personal essays intended as tribute- aims to correct this collective lapse of memory and introduce modern readers and writers



to their stylistic forebear. Though it's been over four hundred years since he began writing his essays, Montaigne's writing is still fresh, and his use of the form as a means of self-explora
