Parnassians Personally Encountered is a book written by Edgar Saltus. It is a collection of literary essays that explores the works of the French Parnassian poets. The Parnassian movement was a literary movement in France during the late 19th century that emphasized formalism and aestheticism in poetry. Saltus examines the works of several prominent Parnassian poets, including Leconte de Lisle, Th�����odore de Banville, and Jos�����-Maria de Heredia, among others. The book provides detailed analysis and commentary on the poets' works, as well as their personal lives and literary influences. Saltus also draws comparisons between the Parnassian poets and other literary figures, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. Overall, Parnassians Personally Encountered offers a comprehensive and insightful look into the Parnassian movement and its impact on French literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
