Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was an English essayist, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book 'Tales from Shakespeare' which he produced with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764-1847). Lamb has been referred to by E.V. Lucas, his principal biographer, as the most lovable figure in English literature. His influence on the English essay form cannot be overestimated. LIT BX 8

Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. - Beiliegend Widmungskarte d. Verfassers. - Dieses Buch befaßt sich intensiv mit einigen Werken zweier bedeutender französischer Dichter des 17. Jahrhunderts: Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux und Jean de La Fontaine. Es geht der Frage nach, inwiefern sich die Werke dieser Dichter auf Schriften lateinischer Autoren stützen. In sieben Kapiteln wird Horaz' Einfluß auf die Satiren und die Vers-Episteln Boileaus untersucht. Wir erkennen auch, daß Boileau mit den Satiren Persius' und mit einem der bekanntesten Epigramme Martials vertraut war. Drei Kapitel zeigen, wie der Fabeldichter La Fontaine Stoffe von Horaz verarbeitet hat. Der Einfluß der „Metamorphosen" Ovids wird in La Fontaines Nacherzählungen von „Philemon und Baucis" und „Pyramus und Thisbe" deutlich, zwei der schönsten Geschichten, die uns die Antike vermacht hat. Die Sammlung schließt mit einer Analyse von La Fontaines brillanter Versfassung der Petronius-Geschichte „Die Witwe von Ephesus". / This book, a close examination of some works of two major Seventeenth-Century French poets, Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux and Jean de La Fontaine, strives to illuminate their indebtedness to the writings of certain Latin authors. In seven chapters, the influence of Horace on Boileau's satires and epistles is studied. We also observe Boileau's familiarity with Persius' satires and with one of Martial's most famous epigrams. Three chapters demonstrate the fabulist La Fontaine's employment of material from Horace. The influence of Ovid's Metamorphoses is clear in La Fontaine's retelling of two of the finest stories that have come down to us from antiquity, "Philemon and Baucis" and "Pyramus and Thisbe". The collection concludes with a study of La Fontaine's brilliant versified version ofPetronius' story of the Widow of Ephesus. // INHALT : Preface -- An Echo of Horace in Boileau's Sixth Satire -- Boileau's Seventh Satire and Horace -- Echoes of Horace in Boileau's Eighth Satire -- Boileau's Fifth Epistle and Horace -- Echoes of Horace in Boileau's Sixth Epistle -- Horace, Serm. 1.10.73-91 and Boileau, Epitre 7.87-106 -- Horace, Epist. 1.20 and Boileau's Tenth Epistle -- Echoes of Persius in Boileau -- Martial and Boileau on the Incompetent Physician -- La Fontaine, Fables 1.3, Horace, Serm. 2.3, Phaedrus 1.24 -- La Fontaine and Horace: Fables 1.9 and Sermones 2.6.79-117 -- Philemon and Baucis in Ovid and La Fontaine -- Horace, Epist. 1.10.32-33 and La Fontaine, Philemon et Baucis 7-10 -- Pyramus and Thisbe in Ovid and La Fontaine -- The Story of the Widow of Ephesus in Petronius and La Fontaine -- General Index Index of Scholars.
