First published in 1923, this book presents an account of French literature during its transition from the Renaissance to the Classical Age. Rather than provide a complete literary history, Tilley focuses on 'the various forces, political, religious, social, and literary, which helped bring about change'.
First published in 1923, as the second edition of a 1908 original, this book presents an account of French literature during its 'transition from the Renaissance to the Classical Age'.
