Le Boileau Despréaux, Nicolas 1636-1711 creator text utu 2004 monographic fr 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Le Lutrin, poème héroï-comique" by Nicolas Boileau Despréaux is a mock-heroic poem published between 1672 and 1683. The work transforms a trivial dispute between a treasurer and a cantor into an epic parody, demonstrating that grand poetic forms can elevate even the most insignificant subjects. Unlike other parodies of its time, Boileau builds a serious literary work from mundane material rather than mocking noble themes. The poem also critiques contemporary literary trends, including popular novels and excessive use of allegory and mythology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
