Abstract

Sir Walter Scott's Quentin Durward and Charles Reade's The Cloister and the Hearth give us pictures of Europe just before the Reformation; but we get clearer ones with the candid-camera eyes of Erasmus, the greatest of the Humanists. And what the writer saw at seventy-five he'd like to show his brethren of twenty-five.
