In An Essay on French Verse-For Readers of English Poetry, Jacques Barzun addresses the baffling English prejudice against French poetry. Barzun's many-faceted and entertaining study muses on six hundred years of French verse, its rules and forms and how they evolved. It also has significant sections on the French language itself, its sounds and difficulties; on verse music in language generally; on the character and achievements of the greatest French poets; and finally, on the social and political conditions that encouraged successive innovations, including the prevailing wordwide practice of free verse. The Essay, moreover, draws not only on a lifetime's reading, but on personal reminiscences as well: of stuffy poetry lessons in the French lycée; of the poet Apollinaire expounding his views on language to amuse the child sitting on his knee; of the author's great-grandmother telling him about proper French pronunciation, as it was in her youth, eighty years earlier. In sum, Barzun's book goes a long way toward answering the question posed in 1917 by A. E. Housman to André Gide: How is it that every nation has produced poetry except France?

Excerpt from Concerning French Verse: An Essay for English-Speaking Readers of French The present volume is the seventh work published by the Yale University Press on the Henry Weldon Barnes Memorial Publication Fund. This Foundation was established June 16, 1913, by a gift made to Yale University by the late William Henry Barnes, Esq., of Philadelphia, in memory of his son, a member of the Class of 1882, Yale College, who died December 3, 1882. While a student at Yale, Henry Weldon Barnes was greatly interested in the study of literature and in the literary activities of the college of his day, contributing articles to some of the undergraduate papers and serving on the editorial board of the Yale Record. It had been his hope and expectation that he might in after life devote himself to literary work. His untimely death prevented the realization of his hopes; but by the establishment of the Henry Weldon Barnes Memorial Publication Fund his name will nevertheless be forever associated with the cause of scholarship and letters which he planned to serve and which he loved so well.

The vast majority of books on French verse, published in France, present a Romantic or post-Romantic notion of the nature of poetry: a view of the poem as a brief lyric distinguished by concrete, striking imagery which expresses the sincere feelings of the poet. The poet discovers therein, and transmits to his reader, universal secrets. Yet prior to this "modern view" is another tradition that poems can be short or long; can be narrative, didactic, satirical, and meditative as well as lyrical; can express universal truths, not the individual voice; and that to do so they adhere to time-honored genres, modes, and levels of style. But contemporary critics and criticism ignore this latter tradition. They are unaware of French verse prior to Lamartine or Baudelaire; or they claim that the early masters were not poets, and that poetry has only come into its own in the last 100 years. Thus they assume a canon of masterpieces that emphasizes the period from Baudelaire to Valéry. This book applies to French poetry as a whole the insights of an American medievalist: knowledge of the pre-Romantic tradition and of the contributions of Anglo-American new criticism. It revises conventional notions as to the nature of French poetry (critical theory) and the generally accepted canon of French verse (literary history).

This volume of essays, written by scholars from a wide range of critical and theoretical viewpoints, presents a fresh approach to the study of nineteenth-century French poetry. Each of the eleven essays, on different poets from Lamartine to Mallarmé and Laforgue, focuses on the detailed organisation of a single poem. The method of close reading has been adopted in order to effect an introduction to the analysis of the 'basics' of poetic language (sound, metre, syntax, etc.), and in order to explore and illustrate some of the claims and arguments about poetry arising from developments in the prevailing literary theory. Theoretical positions are posed and tested in the terms of practical analysis and interpretation. Christopher Prendergast's introduction to the volume situates the essays in a series of general perspectives and contexts, and Clive Scott has provided an appendix on French versification.
