First published in 1511, The Praise of Folly was an overwhelming success that surprised its own author. Erasmus of Rotterdam framed his essay as a rhetorical diversion in which, in the form of a paradoxical eulogy, the personified Folly boasts of having the power to rule over human beings. With its overflowing irony and sharp analysis of the society and philosophy of his time, the work became a masterpiece that captured the spirit of a revolutionary era and is essential for understanding the European Renaissance.
