Encyclopedia Britannica "François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon: French archbishop and writer". Fenelon is perhaps most famous for his treatise on the education of girls published at the end of the seventeenth century. His Dialogues on Eloquence was composed around this same time and was published after his death. Fenelon's pedagogical writings were hugely influential in his day and remained so for decades afterward. This work in particular focuses on public speaking in a church or other religious setting.

Francois de Salignac de la Mothe Fenelon 1651-1715 was a poet writer theologian and French Roman Catholic archbishop. Fenelon was ordained as a priest in 1675 and served as a missionary to the Huguenots during the reign of Louis XIV as the church wished to convert them from Protestantism. Originally published as Traité de l'education des Filles Fenelon's Instructions is considered a progressive work given its support and encouragement of female education; it has a particular emphasis on theological matters which Fenelon believed was necessary so that they might better understand and refute heresies. He served as a tutor to the Dauphin's eldest son the Duke of Burgundy and composed the works Fables and Dialogues des Morts for him. Fenelon's also wrote Les Aventures de Telemaque which upon its publication infuriated Louis XIV given the fact that it seemingly questioned the foundations of his regime. As a result the king did not revoke an earlier order against Fenelon that forbade him to leave his archdiocese a punishment for his previous Quietist views. Fenelon died in January of 1715.</p> Printed for James Reid,
