Over five hundred French-language works were printed in an English translation between 1500 and 1600. This mass of translations allowed sixteenth-century English readers to indulge their curiosity and their appetite for all things French: literature, of course, but also philosophy, history, music or gardening. It was also through translations that people in England kept up with news of the civil wars in France and the latest religious controversies. Intended primarily as a reference work, this book gives an exhaustive list of these translations, describes them and assesses their importance in the cultural context of their time.
