A fine large copy with each page mounted on larger sheets in a uniform binding with the gilt Imperial Ottoman stamp on each volume.Nicolas Boileau 1636-1711 was a renowned 17th century French poet and critic. He was educated at the college of Beauvais and was at first destined to enter the Church but soon abandoned the study of theology and to please his father prepared himself for the Bar. Though admitted as counsellor-at-law December 1656 he never practised and his father having died leaving him enough to satisfy his wants he devoted himself entirely to poetry. He was then twenty-one years old. Four years later he published his first satirical poem: "Adieux d'un poète à la ville de Paris"; immediately after this he published six others: "Les embarrass de Paris" "La satire à Molière" "Le repas ridicule" "La noblesse" and two others of minor importance. In these satires not only did Boileau parody and attack such writers as Cotin Chapelain and Le Voyer but he also developed the practical capabilities of the French language.Above all these satires inaugurate in France a systematic literary criticism for art's sake where previously criticism had been nothing but the expression of envy or anger. In 1660 Boileau published the "Epistles" more serious in tone and also more polished in style. In 1674 appeared 'Le lutrin" which was lighter in tone. Boileau's masterpiece however and that of the didactic school in French was without doubt "L'art poétique". This was also the first code of French versification. It comprises four books the first and the last containing general precepts; the second treating of the pastoral the elegy the ode the epigram and the satire; and the third of tragic and epic poetry. His later publications were chiefly poems which he composed to defend himself against the numerous enemies his satires had raised up against him.These five volumes are one of the most beautiful of Boileau's complete editions an exquisite printing of his entire oeuvre.

1775021FR1D. F. Changuion Amsterdam: 1775. 1775 Five volumes. Title pages in red and black. Foxed. Handsome engraved illustrations after the designs of the renowned artist Bernard Picart 1673-1733. 12 mo. Worn contemporary full leather bindings. Marbled edges and endpapers. Edited by Claude Brossette 1671-1743 and Charles Hugues Lefebvre de Saint-Marc 1698-1769. Boileau-Despreaux was an extraordinarily influential French literary critic and poet. He was the spokesman of classicism. He drew his principles from his contemporaries especially his friends - Racine Moliere and La Fontaine. His critical precepts are all included here. Revered in the 18th century as a literary lawgiver he was later detested by the romantics. Boileau's own poetic reputation rests on his satires especially Le Lutrin on the clerical world; Satires III and VI on life in Paris; and Satire X on women. He was a zealous polemicist notably embroiled in quarrels with Desmarets de Saint-Sorlin and Perrault. Understanding of Boileau is an essential ingredient in the analysis of the literature of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR3 Language: eng. Full Leather. Hardcover.
