Le Cheval Emplume: Poesie Et Periphrase a la Renaissance [French]

By Xavier Bonnier

Although it is well known as a very ancient stylistic device, Periphrasis is yet the poor cousin of Rhetoric studies. This book recounts its historical trajectory from Antiquity to the Romantic period, focusing on the way Poets of the Renaissance used it, from Jean Lemaire de Belges to Francois de Malherbe.
