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
Very light shelfwear ; Building upon the groundbreaking work of Milman Parry and Albert Lord, "Out of Line" presents a new theory of Homeric composition, focusing upon patterns that extend beyond the boundary of the line and the clause. Matthew Clark takes enjambment as a starting point, analyzing the techniques used by the poet to complete a line that begins with a runover. Clark proceeds to propose two levels of analysis, a "deep-structure" level, which describes the associations of words and ideas before they take metrical form, and a "surface-structure" level, which describes the words as they are employed on any particular occasion. "Out of Line" combines formulaic and metrical analysis, expanding the study of Homeric meter both in practice, by taking into account larger compositional structures such as entire scenes, and in theory, by using the results to test models of formulaic composition. This book is important for students and scholars of Homer, epic, and oral literature. ; 0.83 x 9.29 x 6.19 Inches; 264 pages
