Chartres as an intellectual and cultural force in the Renaissance
of the twelfth century has engaged the attention of critics and
scholars from R. L. Poole through Gilson, Curtius, and Huizinga to,
most recently, Peter Dronke. Its importance as a poetic tradition
is now reviewed by Winthrop Wetherbee, first as it developed at
Chartres, then as it influenced later poetry, French as well as
Latin. Mr. Wetherbee analyzes, and supports with his own
translations, the poetry notably of Bernardus Silvestrus and Alain
dc Lille: he defines the intellectual milieu of the Chartrian poets
and their Platonic conception of nature, man, and poetry. Myth,
philosophy, and the literary statement that gives them poetic being
are Mr. Wetherbee's essential concern, as they were in fact the
concern of the poets he discusses. Originally published in 1972.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
