Nineteenth-Century French Romantic Poets

In this brilliant new study Mr. Denomme examines four key figures--Alphonse de Lamartine, Alfred de Vigny, Victor Hugo, and Alfred de Musset--for the aesthetic, social, and philosoph ical implications of romanticism in their writings. He estab lishes the background of the French Revolution and translates into English selections from the poets' work chosen to illus trate the ideas and forms they expressed. The book thus probes the depths of French romanticism.Denomme, Robert T. is the author of 'Nineteenth-Century French Romantic Poets' with ISBN 9780809303434 and ISBN 0809303434.
