{"product_id":"introduction-to-french-poetry-a-dual-language-book","title":"Introduction to French Poetry - A Dual-Language Book","description":"An unusually useful survey of the development of French poetry, this book anthologizes works by France's finest and most influential poets—30 in all—from the mid-15th century to our own time. Included are such luminaries as Charles d'Orléans, François Villon, Joachim du Bellay, Ronsard, La Fontaine, Voltaire, Chénier, Hugo, Musset, Gauthier, Vigny, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Claudel, Valéry, Apollinaire, Perse, Èluard and Bonnefoy. In addition, the work of poets less familiar to the English-speaking world, yet instrumental in the formulation of the French tradition—Scève, Saint-Amant, Malherbe—is here as well. The French texts come from the best critical editions, or, in the case of the moderns, those authorized by the poets themselves. Teachers of French will appreciate the clear prose translations on facing pages by Stanley Applebaum; the translator does not attempt to be a poet himself, rather to lead the reader to a full appreciation of the poem as it was written. An introductory essay gives as understandable a short summary of the formal aspects of versification as can be found anywhere—the early orthodoxy of rhyme and meter, the gradual introduction of enjambement and metrical variation, through the word games and innovations","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":50962294964505,"sku":"PQ1170.E6.I58 1991","price":48.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50962294997273,"sku":"PQ1170.E6.I58 1991","price":41.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":50962295030041,"sku":"PQ1170.E6.I58 1991","price":37.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":50962295062809,"sku":"PQ1170.E6.I58 1991","price":33.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/1320769.jpg?v=1751299490","url":"https:\/\/thryft.my\/products\/introduction-to-french-poetry-a-dual-language-book","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
