Francois Rabelais: French Men of Letters is a biography written by Arthur Augustus Tilley about the life of French writer Francois Rabelais. Rabelais was a Renaissance humanist, monk, physician, and writer who is best known for his satirical and humorous works, including Gargantua and Pantagruel. Tilley's book provides a detailed account of Rabelais' life, from his birth in the early 16th century to his death in 1553. The book covers Rabelais' education, his career as a physician, and his literary works.

The book includes an analysis of Rabelais' literary style and his influence on French literature. Tilley also discusses the historical and cultural context in which Rabelais wrote, including the political and religious upheavals of the time.
