The article offers a literary criticism about the use of classical models for panegyrics in France during the 17th century, focusing on the use of heroes from the ancient world for France's political leaders such as Louis XIII, Prince de Condé, and Louis XIV. Authors include M. Le Roy de Gomberville, Scipion Dupleix, and Puget de la Serre. Topics include the rhetorical nature of panegyric in its didacticism and the historiography of the time.
