Book Overview

La Capitolade, Poeme: Ou Tout Ce Qu�������On Voudra (1745) is a French language poem written by Momus. The poem is a satirical commentary on the political and social events of the time, including the reign of Louis XV and the War of the Austrian Succession. The title, La Capitolade, refers to a riot that occurred in Rome in 1672, and the poem uses this event as a metaphor for the chaos and disorder of contemporary French society. Momus employs a range of literary devices, including irony, sarcasm, and allegory, to critique the corruption and hypocrisy of the ruling class, as well as the complacency and apathy of the general populace. The poem is notable for its scathing tone and its unflinching critique of the French monarchy and aristocracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
