John Barclay: Argenis
Edited and translated by Mark Riley & Dorothy Pritchard Huber
John Barclay's Argenis, the greatest and most popular of all Renaissance Latin novels, is an ingenious, deftly plotted tour de force, combining tragedy, romance, intrigue, and exotic adventure with lively, veiled descriptions of the social and political world of 17th century Europe. Prefaced by an extensive introduction and supplemented by numerous magnificent illustrations, this definitive modern edition presents Barclay's final Latin version, plus a modernised version of Kingsmill Long's widely read English translation of 1625.

The Argenis is a long romance, with a monitory purpose on the dangers of political intrigue, probably suggested to him by his experiences of the league in France, and by the catholic plot in England after James [I]'s accession. http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/BAI_BAR/BARCLAY_J...
