Summary "Variétés Historiques et Littéraires" by Edouard Fournier is a collection of rare and curious essays written in the mid-19th century. The work compiles various prose and poetic pieces, reflecting both historical and literary interests, likely appealing to readers fascinated by the nuances of French history and literature during this period. At the start of this work, the narrative presents the interrogation and deposition of Jehan de Poltrot regarding the assassination of the Duke of Guise in 1563. The text recounts Poltrot's confession, detailing his motivations and the instigators behind the assassination, including notable figures within the political milieu of the time. As the story unfolds, the reader is drawn into the complex interplay of political intrigue and personal decision-making that ultimately leads to the dramatic and significant act of violence. The opening sets a profound stage for exploring themes of loyalty, deception, and the consequences of political actions in historical context. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
