Amphion Orator (eBook, ePUB)

How the Royal Odes of François de Malherbe Reimagine the French Nation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This new approach to Malherbe's odes interweaves political, cultural, rhetorical, and literary history to show how they constitute a unified sequence whose ambition is to forge a new national community in the aftermath of the Wars of Religion, dislodging Malherbe from his moribund critical reception as a grammarian and technician and recovering the brilliance of a poetic genius whose political mythmaking stems from an impassioned patriotism.
