Here for the first time is a comprehensive bilingual representation of French poetic achievement in the 20th century, from the turn-of-the-century poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire to the high modernist art of Samuel Beckett to the contemporary verse of scourge Michel Houellebecq. Many of the English translations (on facing pages) are justly celebrated, composed by eminent figures such as T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, & John Ashbery; many others are new & have been commissioned for this book. Distinguished scholar & editor Mary Ann Caws has chosen work by more than 100 poets. Her deliberately extensive, international selection includes work by Francophone poets, by writers better known for accomplishments in other genres (novelists, songwriters, performance artists), & by many more female poets than have typically been represented in past anthologies of modern French poetry. The editor has opted for a chronological organization that highlights six crucial "pressure points" in modern French poetry. Accompanying the selections are a general introduction, informative essays on each period, & short biographical notes, all prepared by the editor. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "A MONUMENTAL work that will serve as a point of reference for contemporary French studies for years to come. Reaching beyond canonical works and authors, it runs through culture at large with FORCE & ELEGANCE. It will change the course of French studies." - Tom Conley, Harvard University * SHIPPING: We custom wrap & label & securely package this superb book for FREE shipment within the United States via USPS Media MaiL (or via USPS Priority Mail for a nominal $10.00 charge) & at our posted rates to international destinations via USPS First Class Airmail (recommended) or USPS Priority Airmail.…
