Excerpt: ... a system in which rhyme was to be replaced by an arrangement of metrical feet after the manner of Latin poetry. It is needless to say that few of these alterations were destined to outlive their author. Like most of the poets of the sixteenth century, Baif began his literary activity by celebrating the charms of his love in sonnets, after the style of Petrarch. His ' Amovrs de Meline ' were published in 1552. It has been questioned whether the poems for Meline record a true passion. It is probable that they do, for, although he declares to Francine, ' Il me plaist assoupir les sons Qui bruioyent mes feintes chansons Sons le nom de Meline, Pour choifir les vrayes facons D'vne chanson plus dine." 1 and again, "I'atteigny l'an deuziesme apres vne vintaine: Et desia plus epais de barbe se frisa Mon menton blondoyant, quand Amour m'atisa Vn feu par le bel il d'vne douce inhumaine. Parauant ie chantois afranchy de sa peine: L'Enfant sous vn nom feint ecriuant m'auisa De luy sans le cognoistre: & mes vers il prisa, Et pour me faire sien a Francine me meine." 2 1 Baif, Jan Antoine de. Evvres en rime de Jan Antoine de Baif secretaire de la chambre du Roy Avec une Notice biographique et des Notes par Ch. Marty-Laveaux. Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 5 vol. in--8, 1881-1890. Vol. 1, p. 195 2 Ed. Marty-Laveaux. Vol. I, p. 96. it is quite compatible with Baif s fickle nature to address to Francine these compliments, forgetting readily his fondness for Meline. Throughout his poems to Meline, forty-two of which are sonnets, there is present a passion which was real for the time at least, and not a Platonic passion either, as is evident from the sonnet, "O doux plaisir plein de...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sonnet in French Literature and the Development of the French Sonnet Form: A Dissertation Submitted to Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The object of this work has been the study of the French sonnet with especial reference to its rhyme-schemes. A resume has been given of the sonnet laws as set forth by the principal prosodists who have written upon this subject, and the rhyme schemes of all known sonnets by the principal French poets down to the middle of the Nineteenth Century have been tabu lated. As erroneous statements upon this matter abound, the tabulated forms may be of some value in refuting them. The poets have been introduced according to priority of birth. Short sketches of the lives of each poet precede the study of their use of the sonnet form. Attention has been given only to the sonnet of fourteen lines, composed of two quatrains followed by two tercets, as time has not permitted a study of the many varieties that are mentioned in the chapter on the Rules of the French sonnet.

This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible and authoritative new history of French literature, written by a highly distinguished transatlantic group of scholars This book provides an engaging, accessible, and exciting new history of French literature from the Renaissance through the twentieth century, from Rabelais and Marguerite de Navarre to Samuel Beckett and Assia Djebar. Christopher Prendergast, one of today's most distinguished authorities on French literature, has gathered a transatlantic group of more than thirty leading scholars who provide original essays on carefully selected writers, works, and topics that open a window onto key chapters of French literary history. The book begins in the sixteenth century with the formation of a modern national literary consciousness, and ends in the late twentieth century with the idea of the "national" coming increasingly into question as inherited meanings of "French" and "Frenchness" expand beyond the geographical limits of mainland France. Provides an exciting new account of French literary history from the Renaissance to the end of the twentieth century Features more than thirty original essays on key writers, works, and topics, written by a distinguished transatlantic group of scholars Includes an introduction and index The contributors include Etienne Beaulieu, Christopher Braider, Peter Brooks, Mary Ann Caws, David Coward, Nicholas Cronk, Edwin M. Duval, Mary Gallagher, Raymond Geuss, Timothy Hampton, Nicholas Harrison, Katherine Ibbett, Michael Lucey, Susan Maslan, Eric Méchoulan, Hassan Melehy, Larry F.

Book Synopsis A New History of French Literature by : Denis Hollier
Download or read book A New History of French Literature written by Denis Hollier and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998-08-19 with total page 1202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for the general reader, this splendid introduction to French literature from 842 A.D.—the date of the earliest surviving document in any Romance language—to the present decade is the most compact and imaginative single-volume guide available in English to the French literary tradition. In fact, no comparable work exists in either language. It is not the customary inventory of authors and titles but rather a collection of wide-angled views of historical and cultural phenomena. It sets before us writers, public figures, criminals, saints, and monarchs, as well as religious, cultural, and social revolutions. It gives us books, paintings, public monuments, even TV shows. Written by 164 American and European specialists, the essays are introduced by date and arranged in chronological order, but here ends the book’s resemblance to the usual history of literature. Each date is followed by a headline evoking an event that indicates the chronological point of departure. Usually the event is literary—the publication of an original work, a journal, a translation, the first performance of a play, the death of an author—but some events are literary only in terms of their repercussions and resonances. Essays devoted to a genre exist alongside essays devoted to one book, institutions are presented side by side with literary movements, and large surveys appear next to detailed discussions of specific landmarks. No article is limited to the “life and works” of a single author. Proust, for example, appears through various lenses: fleetingly, in 1701, apropos of Antoine Galland’s translation of The Thousand and One Nights; in 1898, in connection with the Dreyfus Affair; in 1905, on the occasion of the law on the separation of church and state; in 1911, in relation to Gide and their different treatments of homosexuality; and at his death in 1922. Without attempting to cover every author, work, and cultural development since the Serments de Strasbourg in 842, this history succeeds in being both informative and critical about the more than 1,000 years it describes. The contributors offer us a chance to appreciate not only French culture but also the major critical positions in literary studies today. A New History of French Literature will be essential reading for all engaged in the study of French culture and for all who are interested in it. It is an authoritative, lively, and readable volume.

Book Synopsis The Art of the Sonnet by : Stephen Burt
Download or read book The Art of the Sonnet written by Stephen Burt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few poetic forms have found more uses than the sonnet in English, and none is now more recognizable. It is one of the longest-lived of verse forms, and one of the briefest. A mere fourteen lines, fashioned by intricate rhymes, it is, as Dante Gabriel Rossetti called it, "a moment's monument." From the Renaissance to the present, the sonnet has given poets a superb vehicle for private contemplation, introspection, and the expression of passionate feelings and thoughts." "The Art of the Sonnet collects one hundred exemplary sonnets of the English language (and a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on each of the poems. The commentaries by Stephen Burt and David Mikics offer new perspectives and insights, and, taken together, demonstrate the enduring as well as changing nature of the sonnet. The authors serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets. Also included is a general introductory essay, in which the authors examine the sonnet form and its long and fascinating history, from its origin in medieval Sicily to its English appropriation in the sixteenth century to sonnet writing today in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking parts of the world." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book French Literature written by Alison Finch and published by Polity. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The depth and range of this book are astonishing, as it describes the cultural conditions out of which French literature has emerged as a vital component of Western civilization from the Middle Ages to the present day. Informative and immensely readable, it makes a compelling and humane case for the continued study of literature in a changing world." —Colin Davis, Royal Holloway, University of London "Written with great panache, this book locates French literature in the wider culture of the Western world. Finch shows how, from Marie de France to MC Solar, literature in France has always intertwined with politics, history, geography, money, sex, language, gender, class and race. Women writers and the new Francophone literatures receive welcome recognition. A remarkable achievement." —Michael Sheringham, Oxford University "Alison Finch's superbly written book brings the cultural dimension of French literature fully into focus. While revealing how the agenda of literary study has changed, she demonstrates that we can engage with the great canonical texts of French literature in new and exciting ways. The book is to be commended for its clarity, its shrewd analyses and its sheer readability." —Tim Unwin, Bristol University This book is the first to offer a cultural history of French literature from its very beginnings, analysing the relationship between French literature and France's evolving power structures from the Middle Ages through to the present day. It shows the political connections between the elite literature of France and other aspects of its culture, from racism, misogyny, tolerance and liberal reform to song, street performance, advertizing and cinema. The nation's literature contributed to these and was shaped by them. The book highlights the continuities and the unique fault-lines in the society that, over a millennium, has produced 'French culture'. It looks at France's early and continuing struggle for a national identity through both its language and its literature, and it shows that this struggle co-exists with openness to other cultures and a bawdy or subtle rebelliousness against the Church and other forms of authority. En route it takes in cuisine, gardens and the French tradition in mathematics. The survey provides an accessible approach to key issues in the history of French culture as well as a wide context for specialists.
