Vices de Style Et Defauts Esthetiques: Xvie-Xviiie Siecle - Paperback

by Carine Barbafieri (Editor), Jean-Yves Vialleton (Editor)

This volume brings together a set of studies that aim to redefine the French doctrine classique, no longer taking its foundations and rules as the point of departure for describing it, but instead defining it negatively, focusing on everything that it condemns but also finds fascinating.
