Book Synopsis Sonnets of Louise Labé by : Louise Labé
Download or read book Sonnets of Louise Labé written by Louise Labé and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1950-12-15 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The love sonnets of Louise Labé of Lyons and the gilded legend of her life in the early years of the French Renaissance have appealed to the imagination of four centuries. Printed here beside the text of the 1556 edition, the translations of the sonnets by Alta Lind Cook follow closely the original version and admirably retain its sweep and movement, its simplicity and melody. The rhyme scheme of the Petrarchan sonnet has been preserved with variations and corresponding to those of the French. With the poems, the translator presents a sketch of the circumstances and background of this unique literary figure of the Sixteenth Century, known in France and outside of France as La Belle Cordière. These translations by Alta Lind Cook are fine poetry; in English as in French the reader finds "present reality in their hope and their despair, their independence and their impertinence, their tears and their sparkle."

Download or read book Louis Labe written by Keith Cameron and published by Berg Publishers. This book was released on 1990 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although her literary output was small, Louise Labe's reputation is great. Her name is associated with the literary and intellectual forces in Lyons in the 16th century and with that of the growing role of women in society. Her poetry appealed to late Elizabethan England, and a translation of her work by Robert Greene was published in 1584 and again in 1587, 1593 and 1604. Is her celebrity to be attributed to the fact that she was a woman? Was she an intellectual, or a courtesan, or both? What is it that enables her work to trascend the changing tastes of the centuries? This volume explores these questions in depth and provides a most readable account of the life and work of this fascinating poet.

Book Synopsis A History of Reading by : Alberto Manguel
Download or read book A History of Reading written by Alberto Manguel and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this marvelous book, acclaimed around the world, Alberto Manguel takes us on a fascinating exploration of what it means to be a reader of books. A History of Reading is a brilliant reminder of why we cherish the act of reading—despite distractions throughout the ages, from the Inquisition to the lures of cyberspace. He shows us what happens when we read; who we become; and how reading teaches us how to live. He reminds us that we live in books as well as among them—how we find our own stories in books, and traces of our lives. He shows us how our reading habits have developed over the centuries, and how, ever since humans first transcribed their thoughts and deeds on clay and papyrus, the act of reading is itself a part of being human. Alberto Manguel is a lover of reading, and he brings a lover’s delight and enthusiasm to his history of reading. His stories take us across a breathtaking range of time and experiences. From the invention of the reader to Pliny the Younger’s first lip-synch in history; from the moment when Alexander the Great’s conquering army watched, amazed, as their captain read a letter from his mother—but silently—to himself!—to reading clubs in medieval France; from the Great Camel Library of the Grand Vizir of Persia, who trained his camels to walk in alphabetical order, to the ancient delights of bedroom reading and the modern horrors of book burning in Nazi Germany; from cuneiform and codexes to the invention of printing and to Penguins; from the creation of eyeglasses to the hypnotics of hypertext—the story of reading is laid open here for our pleasure.
