About the author

Charles Forbes René de Montalembert was a French publicist, historian and Count of Montalembert, Deux-Sèvres. He wrote in a style at once picturesque, fiery and polished. He was an ardent student of the Middle Ages, but his medieval enthusiasm was strongly tinctured with religious sentiments. Montalembert was elected a member of the Académie française in 1851.

Reviews

[Steven Hepburn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely perfect archetype of a Nineteenth Century French hagiography of a medieval saint. Naïve in tone and copious in edifying detail.
