ravishment of Persephone : epistolary lyric in the Siècle des Lumières
Bok av Julia De Pree
This study delineates a theory of epistolary epic that refutes historical notions of a siecle sans poesie. It argues that monophonic, epistolary texts written during the Ancien Regime both reflect and resist the classical legacy and at the same time anticipate the nineteenth-century prose poem.
