This biography by Viscount St. Cyres traces the life and works of Francois de Fenelon, a French archbishop, writer, and educator of the late 17th century. Fenelon's most famous work is Les Aventures de Telemaque, a novel that served both as a political satire of the French monarchy and as a moral treatise. St. Cyres draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources to offer a comprehensive and engaging portrait of this influential figure.
