Oeuvres: Le Cahier Vert, Pages Sans Titre, Poemes, Lettres a Barbey d'Aurevilly (Litteratures Francophones)

by Maurice de Guérin, Marie-Catherine Huet-brichard (Editor)

This critical edition presents the most authoritative text now available of the collected poetry of one of the earliest practitioners of the poème en prose, Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839). The volume contains poems from Southern France, Paris, and Brittany; poems of antiquity (including the celebrated prose poems le Centaure and La Bacchante) as well as poetic fragments. Several lines missing from previous editions are restored together with eleven complete poems omitted from the d'Harcourt edition of Guérin's Oeuvres complètes. Each poem is accompanied by explanatory notes, textual variants, and an English prose translation. This edition features an introductory essay by Jean-Luc Pire on the early reception of Guérins's poetry, an introduction to Guérin's life and works, and a substantial bibliography and index.
