{"product_id":"9780807892732","title":"Mannerism and Baroque in Seventeeth-Century French Poetry: The Example of Tristan L'Hermite (RLS 269)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines mannerism and baroque in the poetry of Tristan L'Hermite, a leading lyric poet of the seventeenth century. After presenting a history of scholarship on both the mannerist and baroque styles, James Shepard offers a definition of each as it applies to seventeenth-century lyric poetry. He then turns to Tristan's works, examining the poems contained in the \u003ci\u003ePlaintes d'Acante et autres ouvres\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLes Amours\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Lyre\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eVers heroiques\u003c\/i\u003e; his religious poetry; \u003ci\u003eLa Renomme\u003c\/i\u003e; and his recently discovered poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShepard reveals Tristan's amatory poetry to be mannerist and his heroic and religious poetry to be baroque. Many poems, however, contain elements of both styles. This supports Frank J. Warnke's theory that Baroque is the period style, with mannerism and baroque being two aspects of the period. Shepard also uncovers a \u003ci\u003ebaroque dompte\u003c\/i\u003e style—the toned-down baroque that Helmut Hatzfeld and others argue characterized French classicism—in some of Tristan's heroic and religious poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Romance Studies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030957113584,"sku":"9780807892732","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780807892732_p0.jpg?v=1763740291","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780807892732","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
