de La Fantaisie Chez Ronsard (French, Paperback)

Ronsard discovers the riches of imagination and human fantasy at the point where body and soul connect. This chronological survey of both sleep and fantasy in Ronsard's works examines the evolution of the poet's use of fantastic images, from early reliance on the fantastical to a more corporeal approach towards the end. As death draws nearer, Ronsard carefully gets rid of all the forms of illusion that could disturb the association between body and soul. French text.
