Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The first complete, versified English-language translation of the
epistles of Renaissance poet Clement Marot. Clement Marot
(1496-1544), a royal poet in Renaissance France who ushered in new
verse forms and renewed existing ones, stands as one of the most
important literary voices of the first half of the sixteenth
century. Clement Marot's Epistles represents a first attempt to
offer a sustained English-language translation and critical edition
of what is widely considered his most personal, historically
relevant, and crowning verse form. Aiming for integrality and
poetic precision, the volume translates and sets to verse all
seventy-four of Marot's epistles, employing the same meter and
rhyme scheme used by the poet in the original compositions.
Likewise focused on capturing Marot's poetic voice, thus
maintaining idiomatic and literary integrity, the resulting
translation is an attempt to relate the playfulness and pathos of
Marot's verse, rendering it accessible to an anglophone public.
Beyond the more traditional verse epistles included in the primary
base text, Marot's authorized complete works from 1538, the volume
also offers translations of the introductory prose epistles penned
by Marot for his Adolescence clementine of 1532 and the 1538
edition (Lyon, Dolet), as well as the coq-a-l'ane and other
versified satirical epistles, the "artificial epistle" retelling of
a popular medieval romance, and more. A robust critical apparatus
includes ample footnotes, an extensive introduction, illustrations,
a bibliography, a chronological table, and a concordance with the
principal modern French-language editions of Marot's epistles. The
book should appeal to English-speaking historians and literary
scholars alike, as well as to poetry lovers, who will appreciate a
new acquaintance with this distinctive voice from poetry's past.
