| Publisher Description: First published in 1914, this book contains selections, in poetry and prose, from French Romantic writers. These selections serve to illustrate the theories put forward in a companion volume, The Romantic Movement in French Literature (1910). As a general rule, verse pieces are included in their entirety, although an exception is made in the case of a well-known passage from Victor Hugo's 'R ponse un acte d'accusation'. Prose selections are generally extracts from larger pieces, although two complete stories are included from Balzac and M rim e. All selections are presented in the original French. This carefully compiled text will be of value to anyone with an interest in French literature and Romanticism. |
