About This Item
New. Renowned translator Norman R. Shapiro here presents fresh English versions of poems by three of Western literatureâs most gifted and prolific poetsâthe French Renaissance writers Clément Marot, Joachim Du Bellay, and Pierre de Ronsard. Writing in the rhymed and metered verse typical of the original French poems (which appear on facing pages), Shapiro skillfully adheres to their messages but avoids slavishly literal translations, instead offering creative and spirited equivalents. <br /><br />Hope Gliddenâs accessible introduction, along with the notes she and Shapiro provide on specific poems, will increase readersâ enjoyment and illuminate the historical and linguistic issues relating to this wealth of more than 150 lyric poems. <br /><br />âA marvelous micro-anthology of sixteenth-century French letters. Representing the pinnacle of French Renaissance verse, the poems singled out here are sensitively interpreted in rhymed English versions. . . . There is a pleasant and inspiring craftsmanship in these interpretations.ââ<i>Virginia Quarterly Review <br /><br /></i>
