Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing world of the 'Merveilleux' in French literature during the reign of Louis XIV, a period marked by both fervent religious belief and an infatuation with classical mythology. The author examines how these seemingly contradictory influences shaped the literary landscape of the time, leading to a fascinating blend of sacred and secular themes. The 'Merveilleux' encompassed a vast array of supernatural beings and extraordinary events, including angels, demons, fairies, and talking animals. Exploring the diverse sources of these beliefs, from ancient myths to medieval legends, the author sheds light on the complex interplay between faith, superstition, and imagination in 17th-century France. The book also analyzes the literary techniques employed by writers of the period to incorporate the 'Merveilleux' into their works. From epic poems to courtly romances, the author traces the evolution of mythological and religious themes, highlighting the ways in which they were adapted to suit the tastes and sensibilities of the time. Through a comprehensive examination of primary sources, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the significance of the 'Merveilleux' in French literature.
