French moralists
text:
In French literature, the moralists were a tradition of secular writers who described "personal, social and political conduct", typically through maxims. The tradition is associated with the salons of the Ancien Régime from the 16th through the 18th centuries. The tradition begins with the Essais of Michel de Montaigne (1580), but its heyday was the late 17th century. Although the moralists wrote essays and pen-portraits, their preferred genre was the maxim. These were short abstract statements
