| Abstract: |
The article presents the discussion on Pierre Du Ryer being one of the most prolific authors of the first half of the seventeenth century. Topics include favored political themes such as dynastic crises, conspiracies, tyranny, and the corrupt atmosphere of courts; and power-hungry royal family members and favorites, loyal friends of virtuous heroes, petty hypocrites, and double agents. |
