The Ravishment of Persephone: Epistolary Lyric in the Siecle des Lumieres - North Carolina Studies in the Romance Languages and Literatures
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.
