Description
1664 John Barclay Argenis Political Romance Novel Dystopian French Religion WARS

John Barclay was an early 17th-century Scottish writer and satirist most known for his work ‘Argenis’, a political romance. This novel has been compared in many aspects to Philip Sidney’s ‘Arcadia’ and Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’. It was the final work Barclay finished before his death.

‘Argenis’ is an historical allegory that tells the story of the French wars on religion under Kings Henry III and IV and English controversies such as the Overbury murder trial.

This 1664 Weyerstraeten edition features a beautifully illustrated title page.
