{"product_id":"an-introduction-to-the-french-geoffrey-brereton-9781032252902","title":"An Introduction to the French Poets: Villon to the Present Day","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe French poetry of some five centuries is here surveyed in a series of studies of the work and personality of individual poets from Villon to the present day. Each chapter is primarily concerned with establishing the 'literary identity' of the poet or poets with whom it deals: the work of each is outlined and related to the historical and biographical circumstances in which it was written; and its characteristics are then examined critically in terms relevant to the modern reader. Comparisons are made between different poets, and more general topics - such as the concepts of 'classic' and 'baroque' - are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, first published in 1956, had become a standard introductory work for students of French poetry and general readers alike. For this revised edition, originally published in 1973, new chapters have been added on 'irregular' seventeenth-century poets and on various modern poets whose work now enables the Surrealist movement to be seen in clearer perspective. The bibliography has been revised extensively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Brereton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032252901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032252902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Geoffrey Brereton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136489140479,"sku":"9781032252902","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47b98e5f-ba66-4413-9756-c7756f4ab58d.jpg?v=1770163000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-the-french-geoffrey-brereton-9781032252902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
