About this Item

308pp including bibliography "The Classical period in France, which extended from about 1630 through 1680, and to some extent through 1800, attempted to develop and apply universally valid principes of all branches of the arts and letter. The result was an art that was academic, perfectionist, and deliberate, and whose sole purpose was the creation of beauty. This volume illuminates some of the assumptions that underlay French art and literature of the Classical period." Dust jacket has a few tiny tears on edges.
