Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary French Poetry The Parnassian school of poetry was definitely killed about 1885 by a new generation of poets whom their enemies christened les decadents. Some of them accepted the name; but it fell into disuse among themselves as the term symbolists gained ground. There is a prevalent notion among the ill-informed that the decadents, or, better, symbolists were, or are, perverted voluptuaries, with no more back bone than a lampern, victims of hyperaesthesia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six French Poets: Studies in Contemporary Literature IN the Spring Of 1914, I was invited to deliver a series of lectures on modern French poetry in Boston during the following winter. This book consists of those lec tures, rewritten and arranged for the press. It is a strange thing that while so many Americans and English repair every year to France, SO few Of them, in either country, realized What a serious and self-sacri ficing people the French were making Of themselves, before the present war brought the fact to their notice. TO students Of French literature, this was no matter for surprise. They understood that the earnest and single minded endeavour applied to the arts must have its counterpart in other branches Of the national life. That this was the case, is now abundantly proved. We, in the English-speaking countries, are asking ourselves how we could have so misunderstood the French people. But to be misunderstood has been the lot Of Frenchmen when dealing with anglo-saxons from time immemorial.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poets of Modern France The second relation which the translated poem must sustain to its original concerns the far more difficult and exacting matter of form. The lan guage involved will, ofmthe charac ter of the translator's problem. If he is dealing with languages that have practically the same pro sodic system, any two Germanic languages for in stance, he must scrupulously preserve the music, the exact cadences of his original. If he is trans lating from a language that has a quite different prosody, such as the French, he must interpret the original forms by analogous forms. Thus I have rendered all poems written wholly in alex andrines into English heroic verse, but I have sought to make that verse as fluid and as various in movement as the types of alexandrine in my originals. When the prosodic contour of a poem, however, depended definitely upon the contrast of alexandrines with longer or shorter verses, I have preserved the exact syllabic lengths. In lyrical measures the aim must be, of course, to hear the characteristic music, to transfer this and to follow its modulations from line to line and stanza to stanza.

This book was released on 1976-07-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is the companion volume to The Appreciation of Modern French Poetry, the aim of which was to give detailed preliminary help with the problems of poetic appreciation. The fourteen poets represented here provide a varied and exciting introduction to what is probably the richest century of French poetry, from 1850 to 1950. Hugo, the colossus of the nineteenth century, whose work gives new resonance and vitality to imaginative vision, opens the anthology, and Michaux, the most individual and 'modern' of twentieth-century poets in that he bridges the gap between poetry and contemporary science, closes it. Almost all the major poets of the period are included: Nerval, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Verlaine, Rimbaud and Laforgue from the second half of the nineteenth century; Valéry, Apollinaire, Supervielle and Eluard in the twentieth. The lesser known Cros and Desnos, fresh and spontaneous poets with an immediate appeal, invite a new look at the lyric traditions of french verse and offer an attractive new avenue for study. The choice of poems, dictated above all by their individual poetic value, reflects also the trends of recent criticism and the tastes of present-day readers. The texts are all accompanied by full notes, which not only explain local difficulties of vocabulary, syntax and expression, but lead the reader directly into the heart of the richness of theme, style and interpretation. These will prove of value not only to the student who is grappling with the basics of french verse, or is anxious to give depth to his familiarity, but to the general reader seeking to rekindle his enjoyment of French poetry. In addition, there are introductions to each poet summarizing the essence of his art, useful suggestions for further reading, and groups of dicussion topics to stimulate comparative insights and a wider responsiveness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern France: A Poem But all is pail. Along the walled plains, The hollow vales, and high o'er-arched fanes, The piercing clarions breathe their fearfial found; And the dread war-horfe beats the echoing ground. No longer vocal with the midnight quires, Unpeopled convents fink with all their Ipires. Neglected vines their withering heads bow down And wild with weeds untended fallows frown. Age goes half-famiih'd down among the dead, And infant Want fad-plaining pines for bread. Gay gallant youths, all-blooming, day by day, From weeping hamlets take their mournful way, Wild o'er devoted provinces to fly With flaughter, walle, and want - and then to die.
