Fenelon: His Life and Works is a biography written by Paul Janet and published in 1914. The book chronicles the life and achievements of Francois de Salignac de la Mothe-Fenelon, a French archbishop, theologian, and writer who lived from 1651 to 1715. Fenelon is best known for his spiritual writings, which include The Adventures of Telemachus, a novel that became a classic of French literature.The book begins with Fenelon's early life and education, including his studies at the College of St. Sulpice in Paris and his ordination as a priest. It then follows his career as a teacher and spiritual advisor, during which he became known for his piety and his commitment to social justice. The book also explores Fenelon's involvement in the Quietist controversy, a theological dispute that led to his condemnation by the Catholic Church.Throughout the book, Janet provides detailed analysis of Fenelon's major works, including The Adventures of Telemachus, his spiritual treatises, and his letters. He also examines Fenelon's influence on French culture and his legacy as a religious thinker. The book is a comprehensive portrait of one of the most important figures in French intellectual history, and it provides readers with a deep understanding of Fenelon's life and works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
