After presenting a history of scholarship on both the mannerist and baroque styles, James Shepard offers a definition of each as it applies to seventeenth-century lyric poetry. He then turns to Tristan's works, examining the poems contained in the \u003ci\u003ePlaintes d'Acante et autres ouvres\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLes Amours\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Lyre\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eVers héroïques\u003c\/i\u003e; his religious poetry; \u003ci\u003eLa Renommé\u003c\/i\u003e; and his recently discovered poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShepard reveals Tristan's amatory poetry to be mannerist and his heroic and religious poetry to be baroque. Many poems, however, contain elements of both styles. This supports Frank J. Warnke's theory that Baroque is the period style, with mannerism and baroque being two aspects of the period. Shepard also uncovers a \u003ci\u003ebaroque dompté\u003c\/i\u003e style -- the toned-down baroque that Helmut Hatzfeld and others argue characterized French classicism -- in some of Tristan's heroic and religious poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Crenshaw Shepard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807892734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"James Crenshaw Shepard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453399707903,"sku":"9780807892732","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbe0f0b6-f8bd-4222-8d7e-3b7877b1f892.jpg?v=1777300025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mannerism-and-baroque-in-seventeenth-century-james-crenshaw-shepard-9780807892732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
