« Le cheval emplumé »Poésie et périphrase à la Renaissance
Publication type: Book
Author:Bonnier (Xavier)
Abstract: Although it is well known as a very ancient stylistic device, Periphrasis is yet the poor cousin of Rhetoric studies. This book recounts its historical trajectory from Antiquity to the Romantic period, focusing on the way Poets of the Renaissance used it, from Jean Lemaire de Belges to François de Malherbe.
