The Montaigne Project

In 2011, Dan Conley started, and completed, My Montaigne Project: a series of 107 essays, one a day for 107 days, each inspired by one of Montaigne's 107 Essais. The project almost, but not quite, landed him a book deal; this week he brought it back to the web with a newly designed website. He's writing some new essays; intends to focus, among other things, on Montaigne's alleged turn from stoicism to skepticism in the An Apology for Raymond Sebond (Penguin Classics) and plans to include links to all available public domain English translations of Montaigne's works.

(Here's the PEL podcast on Montaigne. And Seth,Wes, Mark and Daniel Horne have all posted links to, and commentary on, contemporary discussions of his life and work.)
