Traces the Italian influences on the literature of Alphonse de Lamartine from the time of his early adolescence to the end of his literary career while writing the Cours Familier de Litterature ten to twelve years prior to his death.
Translated by Gervase Hittle, this is the first English translation of Lamartine's meditation poetiques which influenced French literature by its exploration of literary forms, its close relationship to the nature from which it proceeds and toward which it constantly refers. This work opens vistas upon the European Romantic Movement. Notes and commentaries offer the reader explanations of language and stylistic problems and assist the reader in developing interpretations and understanding cultural variety. The facing page format provides a ready reference for both the novice student of French literature and the Lamartine scholar.
