Opis

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 'Reponse a un acte d'accusation'. Prose selections are generally extracts from larger pieces, although two complete stories are included from Balzac and Merimee. 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."
