In Praise of Folly by Desiderius Erasmus is one of the great satirical works of the Renaissance. Written in 1509, the book uses the character of Folly to humorously critique the corruption, superstition, and pretensions of society, including scholars, clergy, and political leaders. Both witty and profound, Erasmus's classic remains a landmark of humanist literature and an enduring commentary on human nature.
