Including poetry, three comedies, historical essays, and miscellaneous works on morality and religion that were much admired by the author's contemporaries for their wit and graceful style. Saint-Évremond "is an aristocratic disciple of Montaigne, an Epicurean, and a libertin. For him, religion and philosophy are uncertain, tolerance is the only reasonable attitude, and sociability, politeness, and the pleasures of body and mind are better than stiff and strenuous verse."
