Book Synopsis Sixteenth-Century French Poetry by : Victor E Graham
Download or read book Sixteenth-Century French Poetry written by Victor E Graham and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1964-12-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this anthology an effort has been made to include representative selections from the most significant sixteenth-century French poets. With the exception if a few longer works (mainly those of Ronsard, Du Bartas, and D'Aubigné), poems are given complete. In addition, the original spelling and punctuation have been retained as far as possible, except for the usual editorial modifications (differentiation of u and v, i and j, the addition of accents à, où, replacement of & by et, and so on). The sixteenth century is a period of tremendous poetic activity. It is a period closer in spirit to us in many ways than the intervening centuries, particularly the seventeenth and the eighteenth. Its poetry is still being rediscovered and re-assessed in a way that is just as exciting as the period of foment during which it was written.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to 16th-century French Literature and Thought by : Neil Kenny
Download or read book An Introduction to 16th-century French Literature and Thought written by Neil Kenny and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The age of Shakespeare, Cervantes, Erasmus, Luther, and Machiavelli produced in France too some of Europe's greatest ever literature and thought: Montaigne's Essays, Rabelais' comic fictions, Ronsard's poetry, Calvin's theology. These and numerous other extraordinary writings emerged from and contributed to cultural upheavals: the movement usually known as the Renaissance, which sought to revive ancient Greek and Roman culture for present-day purposes; religious reform, including the previously unthinkable rejection of Catholicism by many in the Reformation, culminating in decades of civil war in France; the French language's transformation into an instrument for advanced abstract thought. This book introduces this vibrant literature and thought via an apparent paradox. Most writers were profoundly concerned to improve life in the here-and-now - socially, politically, morally, spiritually. Yet they often tried to do so by making detours, in their writing, to other times and places: antiquity; heaven and hell; the hidden recesses of Nature, the cosmos, or the future; the remote location of an absent loved one; the newly 'discovered' Americas.The point was to show readers that the only way to live in the here-and-now was to connect it to larger realities - cosmic, spiritual, and historical.

Book Synopsis Representations of the Body in French Renaissance Poetry by : Karen R. Sorsby
Download or read book Representations of the Body in French Renaissance Poetry written by Karen R. Sorsby and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representations of the Body in French Renaissance Poetry examines the poetic debate over the nature and importance of the body in the sixteenth century, a subject about which Renaissance poets had a great deal to say. Focusing on the evolution of dissection and physical examination of the human body, Karen Sorsby presents a detailed and sophisticated understanding of the language of the body as it is used by poets such as Maurice Scève, Du Bellay, Ronsard, Louise Labé, Agrippa d'Aubigné, and Du Bartas. A guiding assumption of this study is that sixteenth-century French poets considered the acquisition of self-knowledge to be necessary to the understanding of man. They relied on anatomy in their poetry to provide a sense of body and soul, which they believed to be necessary to acquire self-knowledge.

Book Synopsis Renaissance Postscripts by : Paul White
Download or read book Renaissance Postscripts written by Paul White and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ovid's Heroides, a collection consisting mainly of poetic love letters sent by mythological heroines to their absent lovers, held a particular fascination for Renaissance readers. To understand their responses to these letters, we must ask exactly how and in what contexts those readers first encountered them: were they read in Latin or in the vernacular; as source texts for the learning of grammar and history or as love poetry; as epistolary and rhetorical models or as moral examples? Renaissance Postscripts: Responding to Ovid's Heroides in Sixteenth-Century France by Paul White offers an account of the wide variety of responses to the Heroides within the realm of humanist education, in the works of both Latin commentators and French translators, and as an example of a particular mode of imitation. The author examines how humanists shaped the discourse of Ovid's heroines and heroes to pedagogical ends and analyses even the woodcuts that illustrated various editions. This study traces comparative readings of French translations through a period noted for important shifts in attitudes to the text and to poetic translation in general and offers an important history of the "reply epistle"--a mode of imitation attempted both in Latin and the vernacular. Renaissance Postscripts shows that while the Heroides was a versatile text that could serve a wide range of pedagogical and literary purposes, it was also a text that resisted the attempts of its interpreters to have the final word.

Download or read book Poetry in France written by Keith Aspley and published by Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although organised chronologically, POETRY IN FRANCE does not offer an analytical history of an entity that can be called 'French poetry'. Rather than presenting the story of a poetic tradition that starts with the Chanson de Roland and the troubadour poets and Passes via the Renaissance, Classicism and Romanticism to Baudelaire, Mallarme and twentieth-century poetry, the book describes a plurality of traditions: a history of discontinuities and conflicts, rejections and re-adoptions." "Within such a rich plurality, the reader of this volume will discern recurrent threads of unifying concerns such as the debate over the frontiers of prose, song and verse and the question of whether the correct poetic language should be elevated and formal or democratically everyday. The nature of inspiration and the centrality of the imagination in poetic creation are also explored, along with a consideration of the figure of the poet - entertainer or educator, prophet or politician, 'maker' or madman. Discussions of the changing position of poetry in society are also included, as is the debate over the nature of a canon in literature. The result is not intended to be a formal set of views on poets or a chronological literary history, rather it is an exploration of the nature of poetry in France, a consideration of its changing conceptions, functions, and forms."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
