The Penguin Book of French Poetry: 1820-1950; With Prose Translations (Penguin Classics)
by Various
Category: Literary Criticism

The period 1820-1950 is particularly rich for students and lovers of poetry. While this anthology contains, of course, generous selections from established giants - Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarme and Michaux - it also draws attention to interesting "minor" poets such as Claudel or Cendrars.
