About This Item
1729 Jean de la Fontaine French Literature Perrault Letters Poems Psyche 3v
Jean de la Fontaine was without question, the most widely read 17th-century fabulist, and perhaps could be rivaled only by Aesop himself. He wrote for what he intended to be a sophisticated French audience; however, his stories provided important lessons on morality for children and adults alike. Many of Fontaine's fables were adapted from those of Aesop and Phaedrus; though he did take liberties to make them his own.
This fine, three-volume set includes the following works:
I. Éloge de M. de La Fontaine, par M. Perrault, Lettre sur la conversion, par le R. P. Pouget, Poésies mêlées, Poèmes, Fragment du Songe de Vaux
II. Lettres, Pièces dramatiques
III. Psyché, Daphné, Ouvrages divers
