«Fêtes galantes, La Bonne Chanson, Amies» is a collection of poems by Paul Verlaine, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The volume brings together three works of nineteenth-century French poetry: Fêtes galantes, set in a parodic, comedic eighteenth century; La Bonne Chanson, twenty-one love poems Verlaine dedicated to his future wife; and Les Amies, six sonnets on Sapphic loves. The edition, introduced and annotated by Olivier Bivort, highlights how beneath the apparent lightness of the verse lies the unease of youth at the end of the Second Empire.
French-language edition, 192 pages, paperback, in the Classiques de Poche collection.
Recommended for students of French literature, readers of classical poetry, and those wishing to approach Verlaine's work with an annotated edition.
Paul Marie Verlaine was a French poet, writer and critic associated with the Symbolist, Parnassianist and Decadent movements. He is considered one of the paramount exponents of the fin de siècle in French and international poetry.
