It is not until the Romantic revolt against rule and tradition again sets free the imagination, that we find an outburst of true lyric poetry. From 1820 on, though with diminishing vigor, the lyric impulse leaves its mark on literature. The chief poets of this brilliant period are represented in the selections contained in this volume. The poetry is printed in French. This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
