Reviews

'Paul Scott's edition is both meticulous and erudite ... [the] astute analysis of the political and literary significance of the poem will be of broad interest to scholars who work on the political and cultural history of early modern France.' -- Peter Shoemaker, Modern Language Review 107.2, 2012, 618-20 'The editor convincingly argues that the Miliade deserves our attention today as not only the first significant satire since the years of the Catholic League in the 1580s, but also the pamphlet that, in an increasingly centralized and controlled public sphere, made an audacious claim for the possibility of resistance ... This erudite edition will interest students of seventeenth-century history, literature, and all those interested in the history of political dissent.' -- Antonia Szabari, Renaissance Quarterly 67, 2014, 565-66'Après 90 pages de riche présentation, l'édition elle-même occupe 30 pages complétées de d'autant de notes (32 pages) qui en permettent la plus exacte compréhension ... [une] excellente édition.' -- Françoise Hildesheimer, Dix-septième siècle 258, 2013, 171-72'In this impeccably researched new edition, editor Paul Scott shows exactly why this pamphlet should be taken seriously ... I have no doubt that this edition will be essential reading for all scholars of the period.' -- Nicholas Hammond, Seventeenth Century XXVII, 2012, 246-47
