John Barclay was an early 17^th-century Scottish writer and satirist most known for his work ‘Argenis’, a political romance. This novel has been compared in many aspects to Philip Sidney’s ‘Arcadia’ and Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’. It was the final work Barclay finished before his death. ‘Argenis’ is an historical allegory that tells the story of the French wars on religion under Kings Henry III and IV and English controversies such as the Overbury murder trial.
