A central text of the Renaissance, Praise of Folly is an essential part of the Western canon, without which much that has followed - in culture, theology and literature - would not exist. Deeply subversive in its time, the book, after the initial controversy it created, finally gained acceptance as theologians, philosophers and readers came to appreciate Erasmus's lucid, playful and eloquent reasoning.
Translated by Betty Radice.
