Description
François Villon's poetry is a raw and unflinching portrayal of life in medieval Paris. Drawing inspiration from the city's streets, taverns, and jails, Villon's work tackles themes of love, sex, money trouble, and the human condition with striking directness and wit. His influence can be seen in generations of avant-garde poets and artists, who have sought to capture the essence of his gritty urban realism. With David Georgi's translation, English-speaking audiences now have access to a text that truly captures the riotous energy and wordplay of Villon's original work. This bilingual edition features a newly revised French text and informative notes that illuminate the nuances of Villon's poems and the world in which they were written.
