Machault to Malherbe, Thirteenth to Seventeenth Century (Anthology of European Poetry, Volume I, In French and English)

230 pp. Dual text: French and English. Thrity-nine poets are represented in this anthology. Within its covers the great and sustained tide of French poetry is seen sweeping from the Middle Ages to the beginnings of the Classic era--from Machault to Charles d'Orleans and Villon, and through the golden and abundant age of the Pleiades, to the point where Malherbe began to proclaim the rule of reason, logic and clarity. Each poem is printed in the original French.
