Description: Dolet depicts the life and times of Etienne Dolet. Etienne, who told the bald truth to friend and foe alike, angered the city authorities in sixteenth-century Toulouse, fled to Lyon, and became a publisher of innovative works on language, history, and theology. His foes framed him; was persecuted, imprisoned, and ultimately executed by the Inquisition for daring to publish the Bible in French translation.
