This book collects his earlier works, including the Breton fantasy The Miller of Carnac (1866), as well as a suite of Arabian Tales (1865), the prose poems of Symphony (1867), the defiantly experimental Fusains (1868), and the epic drama Vercingerorix (1868).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A few modern critics have allotted L'Estoille a significant role in the development of the prose poem, between Bertrand's Gaspard de la Nuit and Baudelaire's Spleen de Paris, but have often neglected his significant contribution to the development of French fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His works are especially important in mapping the gradual elaboration and transfiguration of the idea of fées from being seemingly human enchantresses to immaterial beings of symbolic significance. A genuinely innovative writer, L'Estoille was a precursor of the experimentation subsequently carried out by writers of the Symbolist Movement of the 1890s. His contribution to French fantasy has been drastically underestimated, and he was almost forgotten until his recent rediscovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antoine-Louis Duclaux de l'Estoille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1649320078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649320070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Antoine-Louis Duclaux de l'Estoille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485762498815,"sku":"9781649320070","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33251bba-2ff3-4018-827d-726832a99d80.jpg?v=1778051423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-miller-of-carnac-antoine-louis-duclaux-de-lestoille-9781649320070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
