Michel De Montaigne: A Biographical Study is a book written by M. E. Lowndes and published in 1898. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the life of Michel de Montaigne, a French philosopher, writer, and statesman who lived in the 16th century. The author traces Montaigne's early life, education, and career as a public servant, before delving into his literary works, particularly his influential Essays. Lowndes explores Montaigne's ideas about human nature, morality, and the role of the individual in society, as well as his engagement with the political and religious issues of his time. The book also examines Montaigne's personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and contemporaries.
