Nineteenth-Century French Romantic Poets (A Chicago Classic)

By Robert Thomas Denommé

In this brilliant new study Mr. Denomm examines four key figures--Alphonse de Lamartine, Alfred de Vigny, Victor Hugo, and Alfred de Musset--for the aesthetic, social, and philosoph­ical implications of romanticism in their writings. He estab­lishes the background of the French Revolution and translates into English selections from the poets' work chosen to illus­trate the ideas and forms they expressed. The book thus probes the depths of French romanticism.
