La Perce-Neige: Choix de Morceaux de Poesie Moderne

This is some very beautiful 19th century French poetry, and a fragment of a play, all collected in a very quaint volume. They reflect the romanticism movement, and it is interesting to see this poetry responding to other writers and works of literature, or being the inspiration for some great works of literature we know. A beautiful book of poetry, overall.

1836. Choix of poetry by 19th century poets such as Lamartine, Alexandre Dumas pere, Saint-Beuve, Musset and Nodier. Includes a poem by Melanie Waldor, the mistress of Alexandre Dumas.
