DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Noel Clark's stylishly crafted verse translations of three of Corneille's finest plays are brought together here in one volume. Le Cid is perhaps Corneille's most famous play and derives from his reading of Spanish literature - the play provided him with a triumph and signalled a resurgence in French drama but it provoked much enmity amongst fellow writers. Cinna and Polyeuct both belong to the series of 'Roman' plays which established Corneille as the foremost tragedian of his day."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this highly accessible introduction, Brian Nelson provides an overview of French literature - its themes and forms, traditions and transformations - from the Middle Ages to the present. Major writers, including Francophone authors writing from areas other than France, are discussed chronologically in the context of their times, to provide a sense of the development of the French literary tradition and the strengths of some of the most influential writers within it. Nelson offers close readings of exemplary passages from key works, presented in English translation and with the original French. The exploration of the work of important writers, including Villon, Racine, Molière, Voltaire, Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, Proust, Sartre and Beckett, highlights the richness and diversity of French literature.
