Description
Louise Labé's Complete Poetry and Prose is a landmark bilingual edition of the work of a pivotal female writer of the Continental Renaissance. First published in France in 1555, Labé's poetry and prose showcase her unique blend of wit, lyric skill, and intellectual curiosity. This collection features the only translations of her sonnets to follow the exacting rhyme patterns of the originals, as well as the first rhymed translation of her elegies in their entirety. Labé's work played off the traditional male poetic forms with clever irony, while also drawing on the influence of earlier female writers such as Sappho and Ovid. Her poetry and prose offer a fascinating glimpse into the Renaissance mind, and this bilingual edition provides a unique opportunity to engage with her work in its original language. With 306 pages of beautifully translated and annotated text, this edition is a valuable resource for scholars and readers alike.
