About this Item

Classic French literary anthology from the renowned Lagarde & Michard series, covering the major authors of the nineteenth century - Romantics, Realists, and Symbolists alike. Includes extensive excerpts from Hugo, Lamartine, Musset, Balzac, Flaubert, Baudelaire, and Verlaine, accompanied by commentary, historical background, and critical notes. Richly illustrated with reproductions of period paintings, manuscripts, and portraits, this 1969 Bordas edition reflects the educational gold standard of French literary study for over half a century. Condition: Fair to Good. Sound binding with moderate wear to boards, corner and spine rubbing, and light soiling to covers. A few handwritten notes and student markings on front endpapers and title page; interior otherwise clean and legible, illustrations crisp. Includes an old West Georgia College Bookstore receipt (dated 1973) laid in. A sturdy, readable copy of an iconic teaching text still admired for its visual richness and scholarly precision. André Lagarde (1893-1973) and Laurent Michard (1903-1987) were French educators and literary historians who profoundly shaped 20th-century literary education in France. Their Collection Littéraire Lagarde & Michard, spanning the Middle Ages through the 20th century, combined critical commentary with curated texts and art, establishing itself as the definitive classroom anthology for generations of students.
