Tilley is a comprehensive study of the literary works produced during the French Renaissance. The book explores the historical and cultural context of the period, examining the influence of humanism, the Reformation, and the Italian Renaissance on French literature. The author provides detailed analysis of the major literary genres of the time, including poetry, drama, and prose, and discusses the works of prominent writers such as Rabelais, Montaigne, and Du Bellay. The book also examines the development of the French language during this period and its impact on literature. Overall, The Literature of the French Renaissance is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and literature of this fascinating period in French cultural history.Tilley's essay is written from the perspective that the French Renaissance Literary movement presents more a record of a great national literary shift than of individual men of letters. Also, that it was a faithful reflection of a corresponding change in the whole social and intellectual life of the people. He believes that the literature of a nation is more or less an index to its moral and intellectual state, more so in times of great stress and fermentation, which was occurring during the French Renaissance. Tilley has also included a sketch of French mediaeval literature so the reader can understand what the new French Renaissance movement was replacing.
