ESSAY ON: Erasmus/Praise of Folly

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that discusses Desiderius Erasmus' 1516 text The Praise of Folly, which offers a brilliantly satirical look at his contemporary society that not only outlines the foibles and hypocrisies of various professions during the sixteenth century, but also subtly implies the virtues that Erasmus values. Examination of Erasmus' message shows it to be very entertaining, but also that it conveys the basic premises of Renaissance humanism. No bibliography is provided.
